Students will learn how to mix a multitude of colours to make textured painting with different mediums. Student ideas and new techniques will come together in two large paintings by the end of the week.
Stories of Ordinary in the Extraordinary
Ever wonder what it's like to be a celebrity or a superhero? They've got something special, don't they? Well, guess what! So do you! Extraordinary is rooted in the ordinary. In this course, we will explore stories of how the ordinary transformed into extraordinary. Stories of inventors, artists, scientists, politicians; of God doing amazing things with anything we give Him, no matter how simple it is. We will discover some of our own ordinary things and find out how God can make them extraordinary.
Games Galore
Games, games, and more games! If you like trying new things, don't mind a little messiness, or just want to challenge yourself, this is for you! Sign up for this course to play old and new games, see what it's like to be in a game show, and spin the Wheel of Challenges. Come ready to play, have fun, and learn a thing or two. You may want to bring a change of clothes that you don't mind getting dirty; a couple of the games may get a little bit messy
STEM Exploration
Welcome to the fascinating world of STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics! This camp will not only be about learning facts and theories but also about engaging in hands-on activities that will spark your child's curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them. We will explore a variety of topics using fun interactive experiments, including: Crystal Growth Experiment, homemade barometers, solar ovens, LED flashlights, Kaleidoscopes, pollinators under a microscope, colourful chemistry, making a herbarium, wet cell battery, micro:bits, simple robotics, and many more! Through these activities, children not only learn important scientific concepts but also develop critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving skills.
