🌞 Explore, Create, and Shine: A Dynamic Summer@PBS Experience for K-5 Campers!
At our Summer@PBS K-5 Camp, every child becomes the architect of their own adventure! Designed with flexibility, creativity, and collaboration in mind, our camp allows students to choose their own weekly schedule based on their interests. Whether they're budding artists, young engineers, curious scientists, or imaginative performers.
Throughout the week, campers dive into specialist electives that help them sharpen existing skills or discover brand new passions. These electives form the core of each camper’s personalized journey. From coding to ceramics, music to nature science, and dance to design, there's something for everyone.
But the fun doesn’t stop there! Campers also join age-based groups to collaborate on a weeklong group project tied to one of three exciting tracks:
🔧 The Big Build – Hands-on makerspace magic where imaginations come to life in cardboard, wood, or recycled materials
🎭 Performing Arts – Act, dance, sing, and dazzle with a creative performance for the whole camp
🧪 Science Fair – Conduct cool experiments and present findings in an interactive science expo
Each week ends with a showcase where campers proudly present their projects to the entire camp community, building confidence, teamwork, and camp spirit!
🎯 Why Families Love Our Camp:
- Flexible, child-led scheduling
- Collaborative, hands-on projects with a purpose
- Supportive counselors who guide both fun and growth
- A strong balance of creativity, movement, learning, and play
Ready to let your camper take charge of their summer? Sign up today and watch them explore, create, and shine all summer long!
