Week 1: March 18th - 22nd
Ages 5-6: OPTION 1: Pets
Kids love pets! But whether they are dogs, cats, hamsters, or fish, owning a pet comes with big responsibilities!
In Pear Tree’s ‘Pets’ camp, students will learn about different kinds of pets, what their needs are, and how to interact with them appropriately.
Students will work on amazing mini projects that incorporate science, math, and arts & crafts. Some activities include making pet finger puppets, math games related to feeding and caring for pets, drama activities, reading picture books about pets, and experiments about foods pets like.
Ages 5-6: OPTION 2: Plants & Pollinators
With spring around the corner, so many plants are starting to grow and bloom!
Plants depend on pollinators such as birds, bees, and insects.
This course will focus on how pollinators such as bees, birds and butterflies are interrelated with our local plants. We will learn about the life cycle of plants, grow seeds, observe and study different local pollinators.
Many of the activities in this course will be conducted outdoors.
Ages 7-9: OPTION 1: Superfoods
Superfood is a fun and interactive camp that explores the exciting world of Superfoods!
Through a variety of interdisciplinary, hands-on activities, as well as the arts, students will discover the nutritional benefits of superfoods and learn how to incorporate them into their diet.
They will explore the science of taste and cooking, as well as the environmental impact of our food choices. By the end of the week, students will have gained valuable skills and knowledge to help them make healthy and sustainable food choices for a lifetime.
Join us for a super-powered learning experience!
PLEASE NOTE: Pear Tree’s healthy Hot Lunch Program is mandatory for this course. Therefore, an additional $80 must be added to the camp price.
Ages 7-9: OPTION 2: Medieval Times
Hear ye, Hear ye, all Lords and Ladies! Join us for a week of medieval times.
During the camp, you’ll make shields, create a crown, design a personal crest, build a castle, and design a mini catapult.
This course also includes many drama and public speaking activities, with the opportunity to perform like a person from the Medieval times!
N.B. This class will not participate in any activities related to violence, so no need to ask!
Ages 10+: Artificial Intelligence
Through the exploration of the short story ‘Supertoys Last All Summer Long’ by Brian W. Aldiss (that inspired the film ‘A.I.’), Pear Tree will look at various aspects of artificial intelligence.
Pear Tree’s ‘A.I.’ camp will expand your child’s math capabilities: spatial reasoning and problem solving.
Through various apps, your child will develop a foundational understanding of programming, and will apply that to problem-solving challenges using our very own Dash robot nicknamed ‘Peary’!
‘A.I.’ encapsulates perfectly Pear Tree’s interdisciplinary educational method.

Week 2: March 25th - 28th (4-Day Week)

Each day, your child will learn about different physics concepts such as light and color, motion and forces, energy and electricity, and more. They will conduct experiments, build machines, and explore the laws of physics in a fun and interactive way.
By the end of the course, your child will have gained a better understanding of physics and its relevance in the world around us. They will also have developed critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are valuable for their future academic success.
