What’s New for your Rising 9th Grader in 2019!
*Grade level is reflective of your camper’s grade in Fall 2019
Your energetic rising ninth grader desires more control over their life and freedom of choice when it comes to their experiences. They love to try new things in an attempt to discover their identity. For them, a sense of accomplishment comes from being involved in a wide variety of activities. In fact, they love to cram as much into a day as possible. With an increased desire to find solutions to the problems in the world and the ability to tackle abstract thoughts, we understand the importance of creating multiple opportunities for peer collaboration, teambuilding, mentoring and community building for these idealistic and independent thinkers.* Summer 2019 brings a wide array of programming specifically designed to help your rising 9th grade camper thrive.
Here’s what’s NEW for your teen this summer.
