ADVENTURE
Ready . . . Set . . . WOAH!
Instructor: Summer Programs at Cary Academy
Creativity is contagious when you get a taste of what the older campers do at summer camp.
Experience the smells coming from the kitchen, perform a concert made of handmade instruments,
finger-paint the next Van Gogh, and watch what happens when food color is mixed with bubbles.
Combine all those experiences for a fun and adventurous week. Let your interest and personality
shine through and give back to the community through simple acts of service. We will have daily
adventures and visits from guest instructors. At the end of the day all you can say is, “WOAH!”

favorite books and cook up the recipes they
inspire. From spaghetti with a yeti to cookies
and milk with a mouse, our hands-on cooking
