Option AST 14 Young Explorers:  Don't Bug Me (Ages 3-4) Art and Science Camp

The children will love being young Environmental and Earth Scientist as they have hands-on exploration. We believe that each of us can create our own world view and learn to love some of those things we don't always understand! We love our "Buggy Friends" and as we see things through the eyes of a bug, we will help your child understand and love them too!

• The class will see active ant farms and go through a metamorphosis!
• Your child will clean up an oil spill, and will cheer their worm on in the worm races!
• We will make our room into a spiders web.
• We will fly with the birds, go on bug hunts, zip up xylems and flow down phloem's and much more!
• The Art is fun and creative as they make bees, ecosystems, animals out of clay and lots of other exciting arts and crafts.

Option AST 16 Hawaiian Treasure Hunt  (Ages 3-4) Art, Science and Technology

We found a treasure map and must follow Dr. Lipid through the Hawaiian Isles to see if we can catch him there.

• We will explore oceans, wind, boats, volcanos, and the rain forest
• Your child will explore sea life and more as we investigate the diverse islands that make up Hawaii.
• They will do an anthropology dig
• The Art will be comprised of making a lei, beautiful sand pictures, Hawaiian landscapes, 3-d fish art, palm trees and more!
• If that is not enough, we will also be using LEGO Technology to build the transportation needed to get between the islands and to help us solve our mysteries-this will include boats, helicopters, submarines and cranes.

Option AST 18 Around the World Science Art and Technology (Ages 6-8)

If your child loves to do it all, this is a great option. We will study the art, science and technology of four different Cultures.

• Paris
  • Learn Structures as we make Model Bridges
  • Learn to paint like the Impressionist Masters
  • Learn about how light works as we study the "City of Lights"
  • Use LEGO Technology to learn about the forces and structure of the famous bridges of London
• Egypt
  • Science and Technology: Learn how to move giant stones for Pyramids, Learn the science behind Mummy making and make and paint our own Sarcophagus
  • Egyptian Art
  • Technology will use Technics and Crazy contraptions to learn the physics behind rolling and sliding.
• Italy
  • Ah, the smells and taste of this beautiful country! We will learn how these affect our senses.
  • We will learn about structures as we investigate why the Leaning Tower of Pisa.... well, leans!
  • We will learn how the master created portraits and create some of our own.
  • Use LEGO Technology to learn about the forces and structure of towers
• Native Peoples of the Americas
  • Make Rainsticks, learn to barter and trade.
  • Make Native headdresses, sand art, pottery and more!
  • Create Aztec Art

Option AST 19 The Creators (Ages 9-12) Art, Science and Technology

• Art: In addition to drawing and painting, the art portion will focus on fun craft activities such as Grand Canyon Drawings, Aztec Art and Cave Drawings
• Science and Technology: In this class we will learn about cause and effect in our world.  We will focus on physics as we ask the following questions. 
  • What is the Impact of Dropping an egg from a great height and what can we do to keep it from breaking?  How can we apply that to a helmet design?  How can we reduce the force of impact?
  • What is the Impact of a vacuum on a liquid and a solid?  Design a "Ball Spitter".
  • What is the Impact of Rotational Velocity on a sphere?  Can that give us the spin we need on a ball?   
  • What is the Impact of centrifugal force and how does that keep us in our seats on amusement park rides? 
  • What is the result of a sudden Impact on a physical object such as ball?  How can this help us in sports?  Is that what the “sweet spot” is?
  • What is the impact of Inertia and Friction on the table cloth and china trick?  Can we make this help us in daily life and sports activities?
  • We will also investige light, mirrors and lasers.
    

This is a great camp for students with inquiring minds who want to know the reason why. Each question will have a series of cool and exciting experiment and activities to help them answer them questions.  They will also be encouraged to take it to another step and develop their own questions and experiments to prove or disprove their theories.
