Helpful Hints!
1) Register early. Online registration
opens February 4th!
2) Use the Summer Planner (page 3536) to find weekly class options for your
child’s grade level (grade entering in the
fall). This is helpful in managing two different programs in one day, i.e. AM Camp
Minnehaha + PM Enrichment Course or
AM Summer Academy + PM Camp
Minnehaha, etc.
3) Use online filters to search for classes
by date, time of day, grade, and class
type.
4) Have immunization records available at
time of registration.
*NOTE: For every registration, there is
a $25 enrollment fee.

Camp Minnehaha:
PreK - 8th Grade
Camp Minnehaha is designed for students entering PreK through Grade 8.
Students are grouped with other students in similar grade levels, which enables our
instructors to choose topics and plan activities that work best for students in those
grades. Instructors guide their groups through daily devotions, prayer, games,
indoor and outdoor activities, and more. Each group also visits four specialists on
a regular basis: art, music, sports and science. A sample activity schedule is
outlined on the next page. Camp Minnehaha also includes swimming lessons
and a weekly off-campus activity.

This camp is designed to provide a half-day alternative for students who are enrolled in a half-day

swimming lessons are provided for all afternoon Camp Minnehaha participants Weeks 2–9. Afternoon
Camp Minnehaha also includes Friday field trips. Your student’s grade level in the up-coming
school year will determine your student’s morning or afternoon schedule (see the schedule on page 2).
*Note: All half-day campers are welcome to eat lunch with their group each day.
“The variety of programs was exceptional! We were really pleased
with Summer Academy - my child learned so much and I feel
confident that she is ready for the next school year.”

Summer Academy & Kindergarten Bound:
Kindergarten - 8th Grade
Summer Academy
Summer Academy provides a summer
academic boost in a small-group tutoring
format. Since the groups are small, the
teachers are able to tailor the instruction
to the needs of the students in the group.
The course is appropriate for:
• Students who are performing below
grade level and need some help to meet
expectations in the upcoming school year.
• Students who are performing at
grade level and would like to maintain
their skills over the summer.
• Students who are performing above
grade level and would enjoy enriching
their skills over the summer.
**This class is designed for continuation and
general support of academic skills in a group
setting, rather than remediation of significant
academic need which requires 1-to-1 skilled
intervention.
Teachers will help students build upon their
strengths, while also addressing areas needing
improvement. Each experienced, licensed
teacher will work with a group of five or fewer
students in the areas of reading, writing, and
math.
A variety of methods and activities will be
utilized, including practice drills, projects,
games, and discussions. The morning will be
divided into three sections, focusing on one
subject during each section, with a short break
between sections. Parents/Guardians are
required to complete an information sheet that
needs to be turned in prior to the start of the
session.

Woodworking for Girls
This class is designed for girls interested in
learning the time-honored tradition of
woodworking. In this class, the girls will make
a project using mostly hand tools. We will assist each to strive for the best she can do, while
building skill and confidence in her ability to
complete a useful project. Safety is a prime
concern as the students learn and see various
tool operations demonstrated on different
power tools. Some power tools the students
will use will be determined by their own skill
and willingness, only done under close
supervision. They may use tools such as the
drill press, belt sander, spindle sander, and
possibly the band saw. This class is
appropriate for both girls who have taken
woodworking in the past and for those who
have not experienced it yet.

Woodworking
This is a great class for boys and girls alike
to learn the basics (and beyond!) of the
time-honored tradition of woodworking. We will
stress safe and efficient work habits for all the
students. Hand tools, along with the
possibility of the band saw, drill press, and belt
sander (under close supervision) will be used.
Safety will be stressed as various power tools will
be demonstrated on the student projects and the
proper use of hand tools is shown and practiced.
The class is appropriate both for students who
have taken the class in the past and for those
who are exploring a brand-new adventure into
the world of woodworking.
For students in the K–2 class, we will do various
simple projects that will build eye-hand
coordination and fine finger dexterity, along
with confidence. K-2 students may take both
sessions as we will work to complete different
projects during the two weeks.

Wood Carving
Learn the time honored tradition of wood
carving in a safe, fun environment. As safety is a
primary goal, we will begin by carving soap, and
as the class progresses, we will advance to whittle soft woods. Wood carving is a skill that can
relax the soul, build coordination, and encourage
imagination. Hopefully, this class can develop
into a enjoyable, life-long hobby.

Video Game Creations (VGC):
Platform Style
VGC: Kodu Adventure
This course allows students to create
games similar to Mario Go-Kart. Students
begin by designing their own world.
Worlds can have mountains, lakes, valleys,
hills, etc., or they can design characters
into the world and program them to move
about, interacting with other characters,
even talking using scripts written for the
characters. Students can program
characters to pick up objects, engage
opponents, and overcome villains.
Students will use their creativity as they
build a world full of racing tasks. Whether
it is collecting enough diamonds before
time expires, navigating through a
challenging obstacle course, or racing
against a friend, they are sure to have fun!
In this camp, children build a game described as
a “platform” game like Sonic or Mario. Children
have a blast as their characters do the impossible,
overcome obstacles and opponents. The
character progresses on a long path with the
background scrolling behind it and adversaries,
prizes and obstacles are encountered as it goes.
Students will progress from lessons in the basics
to different programming techniques during this
enrichment camp. Join the fun and become a
classic video game creator!

Woodworking for Girls
This class is designed for girls interested
in learning the time-honored tradition of
woodworking. In this class, the girls will make
a project using mostly hand tools. We will
assist each to strive for the best she can do,
while building skill and confidence in her
ability to complete a useful project. Safety
is a prime concern as the students learn and see
various tool operations demonstrated
on different power tools. Some power tools
the students will use will be determined by
their own skill and willingness, only done
under close supervision. They may use tools
such as the drill press, belt sander, spindle
sander, and possibly the band saw. This class is
appropriate for both girls who have taken
