The Learning! |

| Juniors Rising 1st - 2nd Graders |
Interns Rising 3rd - 4th Graders |
Seniors Rising 5th - 6th Graders |
| UPDATE: Our youngest authors will go on an adventure of their choice! They will learn the basic elements of creative and non-fiction writing to imagine a world all of their own. They will be able to compose their own books deciding to journey on an underwater adventure or travel to their future where they write about a possible future career. Campers will be supported to create a story arc to take their reader on an exciting journey. They will embed true facts by learning the basics of research like narrowing down relevant facts and watching out for trustworthy and non-trustworthy sources. At the end of the week, authors will proudly bring home a published book! |
Our Intern & Senior writers will flex their expository writing muscles by deeply exploring the field of journalism. Students will learn about magazine and newspaper composition, explore ethics, and learn how to research, write, and publish features and human interest stories. Writers will actively participate in the publishing of their own original magazine, which you will receive at the conclusion of the summer season. *Interns and Seniors may have some overlapping activities but Interns are in a different grouping keeping in mind the level of support they may need |

| Differentiation | ||
| At Camp Brainy Bunch, we work with young writers to build their communication skills around audience, purpose, and voice. We will explore and consider the words of powerful authors which help to inspire our own pieces. Each camper will be supported with appropriate scafforlds designed by experienced teachers. Advanced campers will be asked to take Editor-In-Chief roles to level up our camp magazine. | ||
The Fun! |
||
| Daily Morning Meetings to build culture, lasting memories and friendships! Brain Breaks! It's summer after all so let's PLAY! Brain Breaks allow us to transition between curriculum activities. Brain Breaks feature classic camp games as well as unique activities that follow the weekly theme. We also encourage our staff to be their authentic selves by hosting games/activities near and dear to them. Fun Friday Celebrations! Every Friday we acknowledge the success of our campers and host a much deserved water day to cool off from the summer heat! |

| Highlights of All Our Camps | ||
| Outstanding instructors and low student ratios make certain that your child develops a strong bond with all staff from the first minute they arrive. Daily camp culture rituals create a strong, silly, and supportive camp community. Extended care activities follow a theme that continues the fun and exploration beyond the regular camp day. |
