What’s New for your Rising 7th Grader in 2019!

11.12.2018

*Grade level is reflective of your camper’s grade in Fall 2019

Your rising seventh grader is extremely energetic, needs lots of physical activity and loves to explore their creative side through abstract thinking. As their more mature personality begins to emerge, they are more insightful and empathetic. With an increased awareness of varying personal perspectives of the world, we understand the importance of creating opportunities for peer collaboration, teambuilding, mentoring and service learning.* Summer 2019 brings a wide array of programming specifically designed to help your rising 7th grade camper thrive.

Here’s what’s NEW for your tween this summer.
