Scheduled to run over a 4-week-period, from July 15 to August 9, the A.C.T.S Summer Camp is tailored for two age groups: children aged 6 to 11 and those aged 12 to 15. Each week, Monday through Thursday, from 8 am to 5 pm, participants will partake in engaging activities and educational sessions centered around one of the camp’s core pillars. Fridays will feature field trip activities aligned with the focus pillar of the week.
The camp aims to bring in a diverse range of professionals from various fields to lead sessions. For example, cultural icon Derek “Rah” Peters will conduct drumming sessions, while the “Konmité pou Etid Kwéyòl” (KEK) will lead Creole language sessions. Other activities include basket weaving and cultural dance appreciation during the culture-focused week. Additionally, the camp will provide children with exposure to the college environment, allowing them to explore computer and science labs, the library, classrooms, and interact with college faculty and students.
As a culmination of the camp experience, children will have the opportunity to showcase the results of their experiments and activities to a broader audience. The A.C.T.S Summer Camp promises to be a transformative journey for young participants, offering a blend of education, fun, and hands-on learning in a supportive and enriching setting.
