German Summer Camps (Ages 6 to 10)

You’ll need top security clearance for this mission! Math, Mystery and Detectives is an action-packed program designed for kids aged 6 to 10. This camp will merge topics in math and games, and campers will solve codes, riddles, and scavenger hunts through a mathematical lens. Participants will engage in a variety of teamwork building activities, critical thinking, and creativity, all while using their German.

This is a bilingual camp. All levels of German proficiency are welcome, but we aim to utilize as much German as possible and to encourage all children to utilize their German as they are comfortable.

Unleash your child's inner artist at our Artistic Explorations camp! This program will take campers on an artistic adventure through various mediums such as painting, mixed media, drawing, hand crafts, and the like! Campers will have an opportunity to make exciting art through discovering their own artistic passions. Several creative activities such as outdoor/nature exploration, imaginative play, group collaboration, and hands on learning will enable campers to develop their creative expression while having fun and speaking German! The cost of this camp already includes a $20 material fee for all art supplies.
