Dear Families,

It is with great excitement that we are announcing the 8th Summer Fine Arts & Sciences Day Camp. Much creative planning has been put into place. The children can experience five weeks of the arts. We are inviting ladies and gentlemen ages 3-10 years to come share their summer with us. There will be younger and older groups for camp.

The children may enroll for the entire program 5 weeks or individual weeks of interest. The tuition covers all materials for the different camp programs, art supplies, your child's field trip to an art museum, visitors and guest speakers to our camp. You can register your child via sending back this form on or before Friday, April 25th or by attending our Summer Camp Open House on Saturday, April 26th (non-LMMA families). Please call ahead for an appointment.

If you are planning on attending the Open House, please bring with you this registration form and the tuition payment for the weeks your child will be attending. If you have friends or neighbors who would like the camp information just let us know. Very soon our school will be mailing the Summer Day Camp brochure to over 5,000 families. If you have any questions, just ask Scott or Sheila who have been busy designing this exciting program for your child.

June 16-20: Children's Books Come Alive: ages 3-5 / Chess/Game Strategy:
ages 6-10.
Children's Books Come Alive: Works of children's favorites Eric Carle & Dr. Seuss will be brought to life with art projects, drama, puppets and science lessons. We will create a complete class book ready for publishing, complete with original illustration and writing. A member of the Orlando Historical Society will visit the class, dressed up as a non-fictional character.
Chess/Game Strategy: Let the games begin! Chess, Scrabble, Checkers, Monopoly! Each day we will begin with strategy instruction and play time. The week will focus on learning how to play the game, supporting your fellow players and figuring out why one player won over the other. Chessmaster Steven Vigil, a certified USCF Coach, will present the history, stories and strategies of the game.

June 23-27: Nature: ages 3-5
Conservation: ages 6-8
Nature: Campers will delve into the world of nature that surrounds them, the Florida Biome! These Nature Rangers will experience hands-on the plant, water cycle and amazing animal life. Experiments and building simple models will help us gain understanding. An on-site guest from the Audubon Society Birds of Prey exhibit will wrap up the week.
Conservation: It's all about Environmental Science! Our Science Wizards will conduct experiments on recycling, water/soil conservation and the role insects play in our habitat. Representatives of the Orlando Science Center will come to an on-site visit and we will travel to the St. John's River with our parents.

June 30 - July 3: Art Studio ages 3-5
Expanded Mixed Media ages 6-8
Art Studio: We will explore two artists this week. Your child will experiment, explore and create with a variety of mediums and techniques. On Thursday, we will celebrate with an ice cream social and art exhibit.
Expanded Mixed Media: The children will experience a studio where imagination comes alive. Artists explore self-expression through energetic projects. We will enjoy a full spectrum of drawing (charcoal and pencil), and painting (tempera and acrylic). Campers will create a final masterpiece on canvas to bring home.

July 7-11: Earth Science ages 3-5 / Astronomy ages 6-8
Earth Science: Biosphere Study: the study of our earth. Orlando Science Center's Globe Trekker Curriculum will start off the week; earthquakes, layers of the earth, geography and plate tectonics are just a few of the topics. We will learn from models and hands-on science to have fun learning about the planet we call home.
Astronomy: The Astronomy curriculum will include: space exploration, phases of the moon, layers of the atmosphere and much more. The children will create simple models and visit the SCC Planetarium to finish out the week!

July 14-18: Children Cultures From Around the World ages 3-5
Anthropology ages 6-8
Children Cultures From Around the World: Hispanic, Indian, German, Chinese and African cultures will come alive. Celebration is our theme with art, music, food, literature, and plays. Live music and dancers will be memorable for the children as they explore the larger world in which they live.
Anthropology: The children will explore three different Native American tribes. We will learn about timelines, the study of people, how they live and the mysteries of their life and culture will be unmasked. We will integrate culture and the fundamental needs of people. An Orlando Historical Society member will come dressed as a Frontier woman, and the Talako Dancers will perform.
