Why Kids Need Summer Camp Ruby, 2nd Floor
Camp is a building block and a bridge to the successful development of our children. It may cost money, but summer camp is one of the greatest gifts families can give their kids. Camps provide a positive community for kids to practice their independence, gain personal confidence, learn new skills, and participate in the adventuresome outdoors. Kids gain a feeling of connectedness and a belief in their ability to make decisions. We will have a panel discussion with experienced camp staff, parents, and kids, plus lots of time for questions.

Get a RightStart in Fractions! St. Charles, Salon II East
Children often have difficulty with fractions because they see only the parts of the fraction, and not the whole. Anyone, age 6 and up, can understand fractions with the linear model. This fraction review will give you confidence in teaching (or re-teaching) this important topic. You will also learn a few fraction card games.

The Impact of Nutrition on Learning Coral, 2nd Floor
Kids are always told by their grown-ups to eat their fruits and veggies -- but do we ourselves really understand WHY we need them to fuel and how they protect our bodies? Come and learn more about how phytonutrients (plant chemicals) positively affect your child's health and ability to learn. And if you as a parent are looking for a solution to getting your child to eat more fruits and veggies, I will share ideas on this also.
