This camp will push participants to challenge themselves mentally and physically on our new and improved Adventure Ropes Course. Teamwork skills will be stressed throughout the week, as campers will be required to work together to conquer both low and high ropes challenges. All campers must be ready to place their trust in others, to face personal fears, to try new things and expand the boundaries of their known comfort zones, and to laugh and have fun with others. The week will also include exposure to other adventure activities such as rock climbing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.

Low Ropes Elements include: The Mohawk Walk, Wild Woozy, Nitro Crossing, Electric Fence, Spiders Web, and more.

High Ropes Elements include: Zip Line, Pirates Crossing, Lily Pads (New), Multi Vine, Pamper Pole, Vertical Playground, and more.

During this camp, we will follow the basic structure of the Ropes Course Adventure Camp, with some elements of the Lifelong Adventure Camp added in, but our focus will be on developing leadership skills, and those will be stressed through the completion of all elements/activities. There will also be minor “class time” elements (journaling and discussions) mixed in to stress certain points of leadership. This camp will include one or two overnight stays (at the end of the week) that will allow all participants to practice the skills they have picked up over the course of the week and build additional skills. These stays will be optional for those that want an extra challenge, with a location to be determined. This camp has been designed for middle school students who wish to explore their leadership potential and has been intentionally scheduled for the end of summer to aid with, or enhance, the transition back into school.

Young artists will stretch their imaginations and build their skills in this action-packed week of painting and sculpting in the beautiful St. Andrew’s Art Studios. Artists will learn to create giant sculptures from recycled materials in the style of Pop Artists, paint with vivid color like the Fauves (aka the “Wild Beasts”), experiment with clay as they learn the basics of handbuilding, and try their hand at the ancient Japanese art of Origami.  Artists will leave this week with a mountain of exciting and colorful artwork to be proud of and a taste of the St. Andrew’s visual arts experience. The week culminates in an art show on Friday for the last half hour of camp.  Families and friends are invited to come celebrate their child’s artwork on display in the Griffiths Art Gallery at St. Andrew’s before taking it home.

This camp is the next step in the progression of robotics education. Campers work in teams to build and program more advanced and intelligent robots. They will use the Arduino system, and work through C++ programming, as well as design their own project.
