The Village Gate Summer Program is a 6 Week Program from June 21st - July 30th with individual weekly themes. Each week will consist of several field trips, swimming, team building and outside play with a splash of reading, writing and study skills.
The Themes are:
Week
1: No business like show business (June 21st-25th)
Join us for a week of Celebrating Show Business! Our Elementary campers will explore all of the many exciting components of show business – The campers will visit a stage company for a tour, get lessons in theatrical make-up and special effects, learn how a movie is made and even spend a day exploring the life of a musician!
This is not just for those campers who enjoy performing, but also for those who just want to know how it works and explore the part of show business that you never get to see.
Join us on Center Stage for a week of Frolicking and Fun!
Week 2: Let the Games Begin (June 28th - July 2nd)
Fun and Games is what summer is all about! Mini Golf, Bowling, Kick Ball, Volleyball, Baseball and Chess are just a sampling of the games on tap. Sunshine, Sportsmanship, Encouragement and Excitement make this a session where summer memories are made.
We will visit stadiums, go to parks, the beach and meet athletes from various sports backgrounds. Put your Game Face on and Join in the Fun!!!
Week 3: The Peaceful Project (July 5th - July 9th)
The Peace Project Session will focus on Community Service, Peaceful Conflict Resolution and Seeing Beyond Our Differences. We have many cultures, faiths, beliefs and values but only one world in which to co-exist. Learning to celebrate our commonalities and our differences is what this session is about. Each day we will celebrate as we explore the traditions of our human family, different countries & cultures and do a Community Service Project.
Week 4: Footsteps & Fingerprints (July 12th - July 16th)
Let your Super Sleuth Come Alive in this mysterious camp session! During Week 4 of our Summer Camp Extravaganza, Our campers will explore all of the exciting skills of being a detective. They will learn about clues, learn how to use the tools of the trade (magnifying glasses, fingerprint kits and observation) and they will even get to solve their very own mystery! We will be bringing in a local detective, visiting a courthouse, exploring a crime lab and will play our own version of I Spy!
Week 5: Going Green (July 19th - July 23rd)
“Its Not Easy Being Green” - Kermit the Frog
It takes a lot of thought and consideration to Go Green. This workshop is designed to teach children about the Earth through experiences with it in order to help create a love and respect for her. If children have the opportunity to develop a passion for the Earth and learn the values of how to care for her at an early age, they will be in a much better position to help sustain the environment in which they live.
Through this week children will learn about the Earth and how she works, share the experiences of what products, materials and energy they use and learn more about what they can do to help recycle and conserve her resources.
Week 6: The Amazing Race (July 26th - July 30th)
During Amazing Race Week, the children will participate in an off-campus Scavenger Hunt. We will take them to parks and museums. Each day they will team up with a camp counselor in small teams and be given a set of clues to follow. It will be exciting to watch this session unfold! In addition to their “scavenger hunt”, the children will do a variety of races… Potato Sack Races, Obstacle Courses, Spoon & Egg Races! The best part is…. Everyone Wins!!!
