Elective Descriptions for Grades 3-6
Morning Electives
Archery - Susan Ford
Enter the world of Sherwood Forest, where Robin Hood and his Merry Men lie in wait for the Sheriff of Nottingham. Or visit the world of the Cherokee Indian, silently stalking a deer, bow at the ready. It's the world of archery. Join us for techniques and safety training with targets. Who knows, you may be as good as William Tell!
Backyard Jungle - Gina Van Amburgh
You can create fun and exotic objects that tranform your backyard with a little imagination and some basic materials. Learn how to attract butterflies, chipmunks, squirrels, birds and other wildlife as you discover the secrets of your own backyard.
CSI (Celebrate Summer Investigations) - Susan Davis
Basic training to be a detective. Shhh... can't talk too much here--someone may be listening. Expect training in "dead drops", fingerprinting, disguises, codes and more. We'll play games to develop our craft and follow clues to find a secret. We'll tell you where to find us when the time is right.
Drumbeat - Amber Stephens
Do you find yourself drumming on countertops, the car dash, and anything else that makes a cool sound? Well, do we have the class for you! Come and learn the art of drumming on tubanos, djembes, and other rhythm instruments while we praise our Lord with rhythmic sounds.
Food with Friends - Sonya McRay
Did you ever go for an ice cream cone by yourself? Sharing with friends makes any event more special and helps make the friendships stonger. Join us as we make treats that can make any day a day to celebrate. Movie nights, tea parties, baptisms, graduations--there are so many reasons to bring family and friends together around the table.
Lights, Camera, Action!!! - Leslee McKean
Do you like to perform in front of people and "ham it up"? Well, this one is for you. We'll be acting out skits and learning to improvise (making things up as you go). We even get to perform in front of everyone on the last day of camp.
Pool Party - Cindy Radler and Chris Nocera (Lifeguard)
Grab your bathing suit and come for a "wet 'n wild" day in the sun. We will have planned games and supervised free time. Certified lifeguard on duty at all times.
Retro Recess - Diana Moll
Hey Ho, Let's Go! Before XBox 360, PlayStation and Wii, there was... hmmm, what WAS there? Retro is in, so let's play capture the flag, jailbreak, cat's corner, crack-up, spud and more. Wear a swimsuit the last day and prepare to get soaked!
Rocketry - Lori Womack (grades 4 - 6 only)
Wanna have a BLAST? Join us as we build our own rockets and prepare to send them skyward. We'll watch some actual NASA videos and learn how a rocket works. "T-minus---days and counting..."
Survivor - Sue Ottosen
How will you survive in the wild? Come join us as we blaze a trail through the woods while working with a compass, making tables with ropes and sticks, and learning to build different types of firestarters. (This elective requires long pants and sturdy shoes for hiking!)
Ultimate Concoctions PLUS- Pam Nocera
Cool! Wacky! Concoctions you learn to make. PLUS, add some goofy games and wild science and you have the right combination for gooey, slimy, slippery and tasty fun!
X Marks the Spot - Ada Brooks
Come join us as we go from "x's" to art as we learn the joy of cross stitch. Create your own take-home project and discover a hobby you will enjoy for a lifetime.
