Summer Camps
I'd like to start posting summer camp info especially for free/low-cost camps to get that info out there as we approach the end of the school year. Here's one.
Current sixth- and seventh-graders will have an opportunity this summer to learn how to design and program video games, build and race a car that runs entirely on solar energy, or learn how to make objects float. Cleveland High School will be hosting an “Eagle Tech” Camp from June 29 to July 16 for these and other technology and science subjects. Camps will be held from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Technology classes include: DigiPen Project FUN, Project Lead the Way, and Pre-Engineering/Science. A selection of science classes include: Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. Click here for the flier. For more information, contact Kelly Tagupa at 252-7814 or katagupa@seattleschools.org.
If you know about others, please let us know.

The Arabic, Urdu, and Persian language camps at Northgate through "ACE World language." I also hear that camps that normally filled up early might still be available this year (though that's probably more likely for the ones that are not free).
"There's a camp
In the Berkshire Hills,
And the food there
Surely kills
And if you can't get
Your kind of thrills,
Camper, leave the camp you're at;
Leave the camp you're at!"
Rick Zappa, counselor, Camp Sloane
(much to indignation of the assembled administrators at Parent's Day festivities who heard his rousing words)

My daughter loved the sessions held at Seward Park.

The kids really learn to sail in these classes, and the classes are appropriate if your kids are independent and like being around water.
They are open to all and very well run!

Islandwood was founded by the Brainerds, who started Adobe. They spent millions to build a facility on 255 acres on BI. It (also) is built green and sustainable: campers weigh their food and their scraps after lunch; the compost said scraps; bunkhouses are built of recyled materials; their solar power; the facility has a sewage bioremediation plant onsite, a pond with a raft that students pedal to move it about; a fine system of trails leading to Blakely Harbor; needless to say, they have an environmental focus. I'm not sure if they serve bug juice. A wonderful place! They, too, have an active outreach for city kids.

The purpose of the camps is to showcase/promote Cleveland High School. Of course, people with middle-school-age kids in private school might be a great target audience for this mission.
So true! I just don't understand why the District seems so unconcerned about the number of kids attending private school in Seattle. It really says to me that they don't care about trying to attract them back into the system.
There are classes for students K2-12.
