Ages 5-12
Enter the world of wizards and witches in Snapology's Wizarding program, inspired by Harry Potter and other amazing wizards. In this program, your child will be inundated by magical places like Hogwarts, by creating castles and undergoing a special ceremony where they are sorted and use their own imagination to create secret rooms and a coat of arms! This class will spark their imaginations and encourage creative reasoning in new ways, allowing them to build amazing things they have only dreamed of before! They’ll enjoy themselves so much, you might think we have them under a spell!
WHAT STUDENTS WILL LEARN
• Building a Stable Structure: Building a sturdy, reliable structure is a fundamental aspect of engineering. In this program, students will explore different methods for creating a brick model that is both
strong and functional. As they are given new building projects to complete, they will be positively encouraged to think critically and use teamwork to solve engineering and design problems.
• Creativity: Snapology’s Wonderful Wizards program encourages students to embrace their imagination and create familiar items with a unique, personalized twist. By using visual aids, holding creative classroom brainstorming sessions, and providing basic building parameters, students will be supported as they take creative risks and guided when they aren’t sure what to build next.
• Presentation Skills & Cooperative Play: Presenting in front of others can be a stressful and overwhelming experience for young children, but our program aims to help your child feel more comfortable when presenting in front of a class by having them explain their builds to peers in a safe and supportive way. When they’re not presenting they will be combining their individual builds and working with class to create a larger class creation that requires teamwork, critical thinking, and communication. Without communicating, asking questions, showing empathy and patience for their peers they will not be able to achieve group builds.
: Drop off begins each day at 8:30am. For maximum efficiency, we ask you to be punctual at arrival and dismissal times. Campers are required to bring in their own lunch, 1 snack, and a drink every day. Please pack lunches in paper bags or lunch coolers and put the child’s name on each bag. Snapology Day Camp is a “nut sensitive” environment. As we have several students with food allergies, no peanut or tree nut products are permitted. Weather pending, we will take the students to Murray Park mid morning to shake out the wiggles and play in the sunshine. The walk is about 4 minutes however if you would rather your child stay in the studio, kindly let us know. Please view our Summer Camp Webpage for a hourly breakdown of activities.
