Class News

 

The Summer Catalog will be available online March 14! In addition to all our fabulous summer mini-camps in Clay, Cooking, Dance, Drama, Jewelry, Multimedia, Music, Textiles, and Video, we have three new mini-camps.
 
We are partnering with Pence Gallery to offer Stuff in Motion: The Art and Science of Momentum. Campers ages 9-12 will experiment with a new scientific aspect of momentum each day, then play with how momentum can be investigated through visual arts, movement and dance, sound and music, and design. (7/22-26 and 8/19-23)

 

In Davis Code Camp, taught by husband-wife duo Jessie and Ray Valdes, campers 10 years and up will be introduced to Scratch, a child-friendly computer programming language developed at MIT. Once children develop facility with the language they can start developing their own projects, which can be uploaded to the MIT website at the end of the camp. (7/15-18 and 8/22-25)

 

If your child needs reinforcement in Language Arts, he or she might benefit - and have fun - by enrolling in Reading and Writing for Early Success in School, taught by Reading Specialists Jean Salk and Tara Johnson. These two credentialed teachers know how to utilize positive and innovative techniques to foster confidence and love of reading in every child. These camps are geared toward grade level for children entering kindergarten, first grade, or second and third grade. Classes meet three days per week. (6/10-21, 7/1-12, and 7/22-8/2)

 

Summer online registration for DAC members begins on March 15, and non-member, telephone and in-person registration begins March 22.
