Class Description: Let’s enjoy summer cooking camp, where fun, learning, and creativity come together! This summer will be filled with exciting cooking and baking activities. Students will create delicious meals and treats while learning practical skills like chopping, slicing, mixing, peeling, and more. They’ll also get to practice math skills by using scales and measuring tools for both dry and liquid ingredients, all while improving their English vocabulary, reading, writing recipes and problem-solving skills in a fun and engaging way.

Since cooking and baking take time, this class will span two blocks to ensure everyone can fully enjoy the process without rushing. But don’t worry—there will never be a dull moment! This camp is the perfect opportunity to master practical skills, boost literacy and math, and have a great time with friends. Let’s make this summer unforgettable with laughter, learning, and delicious creations!

Class Description: Debate is the foundation of critical thinking, which is essential for our students’ educational development. In this program, students will learn the art of cross-examination debate and parliamentary debate. These forms of debating challenge students to not only support their opinion with evidence, but also to actively engage their opposition through cross-examination (questions) and rebuttal (counter-arguments). By being actively involved in choosing topics of interest, creating resolutions, preparing speeches and providing impromptu responses to opposition questions, students will build up the confidence, social skills and reasoning necessary for academic success. Different topics and debating styles will be covered each week, so students can sign up for one, two, three, or all four weeks of the program.
