STEAM in the Woods
Summer Camp July 2024
Silverwood's STEAM Summer Camp is a 4 day/week camp, M-Th, 9:00am-3:00pm, that will take place from July 8-August 1. This year we have expanded to offer 3 different camps on our campus: STEM, Theater, and Dungeons & Dragons.
STEM CAMP (K-6)
Campers will be grouped by age/grade for the coming academic year (K-1, 2-3, 4-6) and engage in activities for their level, as well as whole-camp games and activities each day, all oriented towards the theme of the week/session. We are only able to accept students that will be 5 years or older as of September 1, 2024. Students that will be 4 or under are invited to enroll in the Magnolia Forest Preschool summer camp also hosted on our campus.
Theater Camp (3rd-8th grade)
Campers will work together as cast and crew to explore theater arts and put together a show over the 2 weeks of camp (M-Th), as well as participate in the whole-camp games and activities each day.
Dungeons & Dragons Camp (3rd-8th grade)
Campers will be grouped into adventuring parties of 6 and work with a game master to learn the ropes, create characters, embark on an adventure, and engage in whole-camp games and activities. Spots are limited in order to create the best quality gaming experience for campers in a small group setting. Should spots fill up, a waitlist or enrollment at one of our other camps with be offered.
For detailed information about our camp themes and offerings, take a peek at our Silverwood STEAM Camp in the Woods Flyer.
We will be utilizing the incredible outdoor campus of Silverwood for all three camps, so campers should come prepared each day with filled water bottles and wearing sunscreen and appropriate clothes for exploration and mess. Campers should also have food packed for lunch and two snack breaks (am/pm). Silverwood is a low-waste campus and any trash from lunch/snack will stay inside of campers' lunch boxes/bags for disposal at home.
Payment is not required at the end of this form. All payment invoices will be sent beginning May 1, 2024, and shortly after May 1st if you are signing up after that date.
