Summer Camp5 – 12 years
Eight to ten weeks of themed camp — water days, field trips, art, gardening, cooking, simple coding. Full-day coverage from 6:00 AM to 6:30 PM, the same hours as the school year.
Predictable rhythm. Plenty of room to breathe.
Children settle when they know what’s next. Here’s the rhythm of a typical day.

What we work on at this age.
Themed weeks
Space, ocean, makers, sports, art, gardening, cooking, mystery. Each week is its own self-contained adventure.
Field trips
Children's Museum of Houston, Houston Zoo, parks, the library. Booked per week with parent permission.
Water days
Sprinkler days, water-table days, splash-pad walks. Sun protection is on the parents — please send sun-block on at home.
Real cooking
Older campers help with snack prep one day a week. Real knives, real measuring, real tasting.
Developmental milestones.
- A whole summer where homework is replaced with curiosity.
- New friendships across age groups.
- A small portfolio of real-world skills picked up across themed weeks.
