Description
The BeeCurious Curriculum supports active toddlers as they develop increased mobility and begin exploring the world around them. Children engage in hands-on learning centers - dramatic play, blocks, table toys, art, and a cozy area - with toys and props that change regularly to reflect current curriculum studies. Language development is central, with children immersed in daily communication and supported by American Sign Language using twenty core signs, plus additional signs tied to each theme of study. Music, movement, peer interactions, and group projects are woven throughout the day, with outdoor play twice daily extending curriculum experiences into well-equipped play spaces. Process-oriented art and sensory experiences encourage creativity and self-expression.

Description
Open to children ages 5 to 12 for a summer of fun! Our summer camp is more than just fun; it's a community where campers build lifelong friendships and explore personal interests at their own pace. Instead of academic pressure, our camp emphasizes creativity and teamwork through daily activities and week-long projects. Each week, campers engage in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) activities that foster curiosity and perseverance in a nurturing environment. Special highlights include weekly field trips, exciting activities, and a weekly barbecue with all the burgers and hot dogs you can eat!
