Sum More Fun!! - 1st & 2nd graders - Part I
Mon, 14 Jun 2010 9:00 am to Thu, 24 Jun 2010 2:00 pm

Some foundational math skills are non-negotiable.  Knowing your addition and subtraction facts by heart is one of those essential skills that students will have after attending this camp!

Meeting M, T, W, Th from 9:00 - 2:00

This class for rising 1st and 2nd graders is taught by center owner Barry Horst who had his former 2nd grade class students completing over 60 addition problems in under a minute.  While it took his students a few months of daily practice, they did in fact beat any volunteer that ever entered their classroom.

This class will have regular game breaks, a lunch break and a pool break throughout the day.  We look forward to seeing the students in this class progress beyond their expectations!

This class will be cumulitive, however, it is not necessary that you attended Part I to participate in Part II or Part III

Only 6 students will be admitted into this class.

Please pack a lunch!  (We have a fridge if it's needed, as well as a microwave!)

Some foundational math skills are non-negotiable.  That's why we are having THREE of these camps!  It is absolutely vital that students have a solid mathematical foundation Knowing your addition and subtraction facts by heart is one of those essential skills.

Meeting M, T, W, Th from 9:00 - 2:00

We're continuing Part I because perfect practice makes perfect, and making that perfect practice fun makes it great!

Like the last one, we will be having regular game breaks, a lunch break and a pool break throughout the day.  We look forward to seeing the students in this class progress beyond their expectations!

This class will be cumulitive, however, it is not necessary that you attended Part I to participate in Part II or Part III

Because of the intensity of this class, only 6 students will be admitted into this class.

Don't forget your lunch!  (We have a fridge if it's needed, as well as a microwave!)

Math that is second nature!?  Sure!!  Join us for this last installment of Sum More Fun!! and see!

We'll only be having 6 students in this class - if we have a need for more, we may make a part IV.

Only 4 slots left!

Meeting M,T,W,Th,F from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

After working through the whole school year with different students in both 3rd and 4th grade we saw a patern in certain concepts that were most challenging for them.  We created this camp for just those issues!!

This summer get a jump start on some of those difficult concepts so you can sail through, or polish the skills you already have!  

Join us to learn about proper sentence structure, advanced and basic mathematical skills, and reading comprehension.

We will be taking an hour long break for swimming and a half hour for lunch.  Smaller breaks will be had throughout the morning. 

Watch learning become fun once again (even in the summer!!).

Making The Grade - 3rd & 4th Graders - Part II

Mon, 9 Aug 2010 9:00 am to Fri, 13 Aug 2010 3:00 pm

Meeting M,T,W,Th,F from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm

By this point, we've addressed some of the more common issues that face 3rd and 4th graders.  This camp has been strategiclly placed so we can review those concepts and perhaps adress some not as pressing issues before school starts up again.

Again, we will have an hour long break for games / swimming and a half hour for lunch.  Smaller breaks will be had throughout the morning. 

If you thought you had fun the first go around, see what happens now that you know us!

Don't let the opportunity to get smarter this summer slip by! 

Meeting M, T, W, Th from 9:00 - 2:00

Foundations are key to building further knowledge, and these FOUR days (we are giving students Friday off due to the 4th of July weekend) students will learn strategies, skills, tips and tricks for mastering their number facts. 

This class will be taught by one of our certified teachers who has the reputation of making math fun and exciting. 

Only 8 slots are open for this class!

Fearless Fractions - 3rd - 5th graders

Fearless Fractions - 3rd - 5th graders
Mon, 12 Jul 2010 9:00 am to Fri, 16 Jul 2010 2:00 pm

Whenever you have to find out how much of a tip to leave, think of how great it would be to have your student do it for you instead! 

Meeting M, T, W, Th, F from 9:00 until 2:00 with game breaks, lunch break, and a swimming break every day!

This will be a great continuation to Dividing Times, or a wonderful stand alone camp!

By the end of the week, students will have learned how to find equivalent fractions, convert them into decimals, and convert them into percents.  Typically we have seen 7th graders deal with these issues, but if you think of it, these are all skills that students going into 3rd, 4th and 5th grades already have.  Let's get them ahead this week and watch them flourish in the coming years!!

Dividing Times & Fearless Fractions

Dividing Times & Fearless Fractions
Mon, 2 Aug 2010 9:00 am to Fri, 6 Aug 2010 3:00 pm

This is our only camp with a true prerequisite.  Students must have completed at least one of:

Dividing Times, or Fearless Fractions in order to be accepted into this camp.

 

We will be reviewing many of the difficult concepts often reserved only for older students.  Students in this class will not only stand out, but will also excel in school.

Join us for one last week of preperataion!

Wordy Problems & Ratios n' Rates - 5th - 7th graders

Wordy Problems & Ratios n' Rates - 5th - 7th graders
Mon, 19 Jul 2010 9:00 am to Fri, 23 Jul 2010 2:00 pm

Remember trying to get comfortable in one of those strangely small desks taking a test where not only did you have to worry about filling in the right bubbles in just the right way, but you also had to try to figure out how much Tom's 4th cat weighed if the average weight of all 5 of them was 12 lbs.  As though that wasn't enough, you were asked to figure out how many different combinations there were for Andy, Beth, Carlos and Dorris to sit next to each other at the movies.

Believe it or not these kinds of questions, though seemingly pointless, are relatively easy to solve (and are big hitters on the SAT!).  This week students will learn how to figure out problems like these while having fun!

Meeting M, T, W, Th, F, from 9:00 - 2:00

Students will have many game breaks, a swimming break or two, lunch and possibly we'll play some Goomp Ball!

 

Only 6 slots available.

Middle School Prep

Middle School Prep
Mon, 2 Aug 2010 9:00 am to Fri, 6 Aug 2010 2:00 pm

Students going into middle school might feel a bit of angst, however, after meeting with Philip, one of our middle school teachers students will learn a little of what is in store for them.  Students will learn vital information to help them enter their school with confidence and knowledge.

Meeting M, T, W, Th, F from 9:00 - 2:00

Everyone fears the unknown, but school should be nothing to fear.  Entering a whole new building with new teachers, and older students will be daunting enough, however, knowing some of the subject matter and what teachers will expect will help a lot.  Join us for a week of setting our fears aside.

Only 8 students will be accepted.
