Cool Summer Camp Offering for High Schoolers and Middle Schoolers

Country Day School is offering two COOL summer camp for Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers.

One is a spin off from their yearly Mini Gusto Program where students go out into the community and get to learn a trade or get exposed to a different set of skills.  As someone who went through that program, I HIGHLY recommend Mini Gusto and the experiences that your child can gain from being exposed to different businesses and mind sets.  Students are encouraged to pick two activities a day, but can opt to choose just one. The cost is $165 per week for two activities and $80 for one activity per week.  If you enroll two children from the same family, there is a discount in the weekly fee.  The camp runs from July 18 - July 20. Some of the offerings are Jewelry Making, The art of Bonsai, Japanese Language, Cooking, Redecorating Wood Chairs, Capoeria, Drumming, Rock Band, Modeling and Etiquette, Improv, Graphic Design, Steel Pans, Japanese Taiko Drumming, etc. For a full list of activities, go to the CDS web site here.

There is also an SAT/College Prep Camp that is being offered concurrently with the Mini Gusto Camp. This Camp or mini series focuses on Prepping for the SAT/ACT, Finding the Best Fit University for your child, filing out applications, creating a college resume, essay writing skills interview skills, and finding scholarship monies among other topics.  This camp costs $500 for all 5 weeks and is geared to students entering 11 and 12 grade.

If you need more info, please do contact Country Day at 778-1974 or see their website on the summer camp offerings.


Is there any interest from homeschoolers to get some of these classes offered to a younger set during the fall/winter/spring school year next year? If so, let me know via the comments section here on the blog and I will work on it.
