Morning sessions give students a strong foundation before they head out on afternoon adventures. All students are grouped by grade level.

Open to students entering grades 1–8 , each class includes up to 15 students  in the same grade, creating a supportive and age-aligned learning group. You must register for the entire three-and-a-half week class (July 6 - 29).
