Our week-long camp will teach campers new recipes and the culinary skills to make these tasty treats a delicious reality, and will also allow them to channel their imaginations and find their style in the presentation of both their dishes and the artistic details of the surrounding décor.  All they learn will be put to the test within the camp at various points throughout the week, leading up to the end-of-the-week parent lunch on Friday.

Bubbles and Balloons (ages 5&6)

Does your child love bubbles and balloons? If so, how about a week-long camp dedicated to both?!

Everybody knows that if there’s one thing kids are great at, it’s destruction. Let your child channel their destructive nature and have a blast in the process with Smash Lab Camp! Campers get to build a variety of structures, and use just as diverse of an arsenal to tear them down! We also get to take apart electronic devices and look at how they work, and then put them back together, and if they don’t work, then they’re the next smashing target. While we ensure they will have a lot of fun breaking things, we also make sure campers are well-supervised and safe as they do.

Spa Retreat/ Spa-tastic! (aka “Super Stylist) (ages 7-12)

Parents, you aren’t the only ones that deserve a little R&R now and again. Introducing Spa Retreat/Spa-tastic! Camp, where your child will spend a whole week learning about and experiencing the various methods of relaxation and beautification through the luxury of experiencing it firsthand. Campers will work in groups as they practice things such as makeup application, hair styling and coloring (with one-day washable hair dye), skin and nail care, painting and other nail art, mani-pedis, and other various methods of relaxation and indulgence. Let’s be honest: it’s virtually a week-long slumber party/ spa session.

Stage Performance (ages 8-12)

Do you have a passion for the theatre, but want to do it your way? Join our Singing and Stage Performance Camp, where you can get practice on stage from professional actors with singing, dancing, poise and other stage behaviors, and voice manipulation. In addition to being on stage, you also get the opportunity work as a group to make your own skit to perform at the end of the week. Learn how to design a setting, plot, and characters; generate the dialogue, musical numbers, and choreography; build the backgrounds, costumes, and props; and bring it all together through rehearsal, all in anticipation for your skit’s end-of-the-week premier!

Star Wars (ages 5-7 and/or 7-12)

“The force is strong with this one”. Join our Star Wars camp, and train alongside your fellow campers as you become the heroes that will save (or subjugate, we do get the occasional Sith after all) the galaxy! Our activities will take a journey through the history of the Star Wars universe, as campers go from using thermal detonators (not really thermal detonators) and blasters (just slingshots, well-supervised and safe) to take down simulation battle droids in the clone wars, to honing the force and their lightsaber skills as Jedi to take on Darth Vader (or Kylo Ren) and the evil Galactic Empire (or First Order), and many, many things in between. May the force be with you.

Survivalist (ages 8-12)

Are you an adventurer? Do you want to learn what it takes to thrive and survive in any wild situation? Then do we have the camp for you. In Survivalist camp you will learn how to locate, grow, and cook food, how to set up a variety of shelter types, and learn everything from knots to traditional methods of finding direction to how to make various survival necessities. Think that is too easy? We may even challenge you to build a hammock and survive in real style.

Survivor (ages 8-12)

Based on the popular CBS show, campers will learn and be tested on their survival skills as they compete in a wide variety of survival-based games and challenges. While we do not vote people off like in the show, we do give lots of cool crafts and prizes to those who show off their skill and teamwork in the challenges.

Teen Top Chef (ages 13-15)

We get it, you’re a teenager: you’ve gone through cooking camps and seen it all…but have you really? Teen Top Chef Camp takes it a step further: using more diverse kitchenware and materiel to make even more complex recipes worthy of an age group that is more complex and ready for a real challenge.

Top Chef: Just Desserts

Let your campers satisfy their sweet tooth with Top Chef: Just Desserts! Here we will explore and maybe even build on some old favorites, along with adding some new recipes you wouldn’t believe tasted so good! And of course in all the culinary craziness we do give them time for extra-curricular activities, you know, so they aren’t just barrels of pent up, sugared-up crazy when you get them back.

YouTube™ Video (ages 7-12)

Learn the basics of video making, editing, and posting to video sharing sites such as YouTube™ and Vimeo™ at our YouTube™ Video camp! Through the course of this week-long camp, campers will learn how to shoot lots of different types of videos, ranging from sports videos to video tutorials to short skits and many things in between. We will also be looking at the aspects that go on behind the scenes of a successful video project, such as story boarding, scene blocking and prop design for the skits, how to break projects down step-by-step in online tutorials, as well as things such as volume control and aspects of movement that are universally applicable in performance and presentation of any kind. This camp is a great self-esteem booster, teaches your child the skills associated with performing or presenting in front of people, and is a whole lot of fun!

Zombie Survival

What will you do when the zombie apocalypse comes? Well, you’ll do everything right of course, because you got the proper zombie survival training at Zombie Survival camp! Campers will learn the basics of survival for just such a zombie outbreak, as well as having a blast learning skills to battle our simulated zombies (we can’t afford real ones, sorry). Other lessons will include basic anti-zombie first-aid, anti-zombie bunker building, and anti-zombie “RUN AWAAAAYYYY!!!” conditioning challenges.

Zoology (aka “Animal Grossology” or “Junior Zookeeper”) (ages 7-12)

Do you love animals? Then you will love our Zoology camp. Campers will learn cool facts about their favorite animals and the areas in which said animals live, play cool animal games, make cool animal crafts, and even receive the occasional visit from some of our amazing animal friends. We look forward to teaching campers to love and appreciate the diverse ecosystems that comprise our planet, and the animal friends that inhabit them.
