Summer Challenge offered at Robinson Center for Young Scholars
Offers an academically advanced summer camp for children who have completed the 5th or 6th grade, that includes an intensive, hands-on, fun educational experience in areas outside of the traditional school curriculum. Students select their top three class preferences during registration, but are only accepted into one class. Classes are small, and instructors are all specialists in their field. While there are no grades, weekly progress reports are provided. There will be some homework, because of the breadth and depth of material covered.
