Moving Minds and Muscles
Moving Minds and Muscles is coming back for a fourth year!
Moving Minds and Muscles is a summer camp designed to engage students physically, socially, and academically. Historically, the camp has served rising sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students; we are excited to announce this year we are expanding to include rising fifth graders!
At Moving Minds and Muscles, campers are pushed out of their comfort zones and encouraged to take healthy risks. At the end of each week, campers are encouraged to reflect on their experience. Week to week, year to year, a common response from campers is, “I am braver than I thought I was.”
Sign up now! Enrollment is limited to 35 campers each week. The cost per week is $200. A non-refundable deposit of $50 is required to reserve a space, with the balance due prior to the first day of camp. To pay by check or to pay a deposit only, click here.
