Who:      Children ages 4 to 12 may attend.  Parents should indicate if older children have been identified as Gifted, Talented or Creative in their school setting.  However, identification is not necessary for children to attend and participate in the program for Summer Scholars.

What:        Children will engage in Hands-On learning through creative and critical thinking.  The teachers of the program are completing their master’s degree in Gifted Education.  A theme will be decided by the teachers prior to the program.  Children will rotate through four experiences such as archeology, science exploration, drama, visual arts, transportation, farms, music, etc.  This information will be provided in June.
