Great Camps for Great Hearts.
Registration for Summer 2022 begins January 2022
Our full-day summer camp is an experience for current and waitlisted students grades 1st-5th grade that is reminiscent of traditional camps from our childhood with the same quality you have come to expect from Great Hearts. Each week, scholars will experience hands-on, engaging activities in fine arts, reading, writing, crafts, science, math, and history – all designed to inspire creativity and keep skills sharp over the summer. Each Camp also offers weekly guest presenters, camp songs, and games while fostering lasting friendships.

Week Four (June 27-July 1) – Animal Habitats: Every day the students will learn about a new habitat, including oceans, deserts, urban areas, farms, rainforests, and the polar region. Campers will also create their own animal habitat, complete with some role playing to “test” their habitats. Problem solving, creativity, and Socratic discussion will be featured in this camp – along with some lively excitement!
Our unique Archway Summer Camps are designed to cultivate the Great Hearts’ mission for our amazing scholars. Each week will feature a distinctive theme for 1st-5th grades with exciting activities based on the wide range of interests children have – science, math, art, literature, athletic skills, etc. Our goal is to make sure each child enjoys their time at camp while stimulating their minds and deepening their sense of wonder.
