Seward Park Summer Day Camp 2012

2012 SUMMER DAY CAMP WEEKLY THEMES:

KIDS CO. MARKETPLACE (JUNE 25-29)

Come to the Kids Co. Marketplace where the economy is always booming. Buy, sell, and trade your wares and develop math and bartering skills. Students will create their own businesses and build them from the ground up. By week’s end, let the shopping begin!

SALMON SAYS! (JULY 2-6; CLOSED JULY 4)

A visit to Ballard Locks, a popular and historical attraction, will start your kids into discovering all the wonders of a salmon’s life cycle. They’ll learn where the eggs come from and where the adult salmon will eventually end up….on our dinner plate!

FARMING IN THE CITY (JULY 9-13)

Sign-up to explore concepts like urban gardens, advantages of locally grown foods, and combating neighborhood blight. We will visit with a community garden P-Patch and discover how a neighborhood works together to cultivate environmental awareness and self-reliance.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 5 DAYS (JULY 16-20)

This week, the students will get a global perspective in a very local way. From the classroom to the community, we will explore the various cultures that make 98118 the most diverse zip code in the nation.

AMAZING AUTHORS (JULY 23-27)

The joy of literacy is our goal this week. Students will become self-published authors as they write their own stories and create their own books. Every day will feature a reading by the students themselves. Maybe your child will be the next J.K. Rowling!

STORM CHASERS (JULY 30-AUGUST 2; CLOSED AUGUST 3)

Your kids will safely create their own weather using everyday household materials. What’s the difference between a tornado and a hurricane? How many different clouds can you name? Bill Nye would be proud to see your kids explore climate changes and how weather affects our lives.

PICTURE PERFECT (TWO WEEK CAMP: AUGUST 6-17)

Learn how to become a photographer with your own personal camera and take architectural, abstract or even landscape pictures. Each student will have an opportunity to display their photographs when we turn our center into a gallery. Perhaps your child’s photo will be featured on the Kids Co. website.

LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! (TWO WEEK CAMP; AUGUST 20-30)

Get ready for your close-up. Kids Co. at Graham Hill will transform into a movie studio, where students will become actors, screenwriters, costume designers, and camera operators. We will end the summer with a red carpet screening of a film created by the students. Get your tickets now and don’t miss this exclusive premiere!
