Session Q June 19-July 3
Art in Nature meets the Digital Age; Golf and Swimming
While exploring in nature, children can construct their own worlds by collecting stones, sticks, leaves and other natural materials to create art. They also love to learn to use the latest technology. This session is an exciting fusion of these two very distinct art forms and how they interact and compliment each other. Children will take digital photographs of their natural creations and manipulate them in new and original ways to document their imaginative works. Young artists will enjoy recognizing and exploring art in nature, with all its beauty and grandeur, and then exploring that world through the lens of digital photography and technology. The nature-based work of artist Andy Goldsworthy is the inspiration for this session, which nurtures children’s innate love of the natural materials of the earth. During the session, each child will create a digital book of his or her artwork to keep. Students will enjoy Golf lessons three times a week at The Learning Center at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.
Session R July 8-19
Physics Exploration for Young Scientists; Swimming and Gymnastics
Children, who are scientists by nature ask questions like this all the time: “ Why don’t I fall up?” or “Why do things spin and swing?” In this session your young scientists will discover the answers as they explore the fields of aerodynamics, friction, momentum, and elasticity. Each day will excite their budding curiosity as they conduct experiments to learn about Newton’s Laws of Motion, centrifugal and centripetal force, puzzling pendulums, air-resisting eggs, balancing acts and other attributes of physics and motion. The session is designed to deliver hands-on learning in a fun and fascinating way while teaching the foundations of inquiry-based science. Science, here we come! In addition to their physics exploration, students will enjoy gymnastics and tumbling lessons 3 times per week. Gymnastics instruction will be provided by Motion Gymnastics, Pennington, NJ.
Session S July 22-August 2
Artful Architecture: Design & Build; Swimming and Tae Kwon Do
Ever look around and wonder why some buildings are tall, some are short, some big, and some small? Why do some walls have no windows, and some are all glass? This hands-on session will engage student’s bodies, minds, and imaginations to explore how buildings and cities are designed and built. Any child who likes to build things will enjoy discovering the principles of architecture and the built environment through hands-on activities, field trips, and special guests during the session. Your young architects will learn about world-renowned architects as we visit the Princeton University campus to see the works of Frank Gehry, I.M.Pei and Michael Graves. They will unleash their creative ideas as they design a floor plan of their “dream” room and create their own 3D artwork. What better way to learn than to have the opportunity to meet and ask questions of the architect responsible for designing the Princeton Montessori School structures. Artful architecture is sure to give the children a new appreciation and respect for the built environment that surrounds them. Students will enjoy Tae Kwon Do instruction 3 times per week, provided by Princeton Martial Arts Center.
Session T August 5-16
Save the Animals; Backyard Ball Games and Ice Skating
Is your child an animal aficionado? Save the Animals is the perfect opportunity to nurture children’s love of animals and discover some of the major environmental threats affecting endangered species today. Students will learn about different endangered animals from around the world – some familiar and some new and exotic. What are they like? What is their habitat? Why are they endangered? Our young environmentalists will learn about natural and man-made hazards that affect entire ecosystems and what extinction means. They will research habitat shifts that are affecting certain wildlife today, gaining an understanding of what they can do as “stewards of the environment” to protect more species from extinction. Parents will be invited to a Wildlife Café festival as a culmination to this session. Each day will be full of animal discoveries and old-fashioned outdoor play-time with great games such as Frisbee, kickball and soccer and ice skating.
