Fun and Learning
Academics
During morning study hours, campers get personalized attention from experienced and caring teachers. In just one summer, a camper can conquer a subject they’ve been having difficulty with, explore new subjects of interest, or improve study skills by learning how to study effectively. Campers coming from overseas have plenty of opportunity to practice their English skills, too.
Athletics
Get outside! Play sports and games, build athletic skills and enjoy friendly competition. Gain stamina and strength on outdoor excursions like hiking, swimming, boating, horseback riding and other activities on day trips.
Maker Mindset
What can you make with tools and imagination? Tinkering, making, creativity, DIY, technology and science are fun for campers of all ages. Engaging themes set campers exploring, building and problem-solving together to solve creative challenges.
Arts
It wouldn’t be summer camp without exploring the arts! Our art electives range from painting and design to acting and drawing. Campers may tie-dye a shirt, paint a masterpiece, build a sculpture from recycled objects or blend pastels. The Art Studio is a place to discover new media, film stop motion, make a costume or try some classic camp crafts.
Adventure
Age-appropriate day trips throughout the summer ensure that everyone experiences something new. With health and safety in mind, field trips are planned that put campers out in nature, in museums, workshops and other learning experiences where they can explore and learn firsthand. Campers are encouraged to ask questions and discover new abilities. DaVinci Academy campers have many opportunities for personal growth.
