HOW TO PAY FOR CAMP

Camp Ogle Registration OPEN for Summer 2027

Each week will feature a different interactive section of world history, as campers will spend a week living in different periods of world history and playing a role in the successful development of their own civilization. Camp Ogle provides children a summer opportunity to not only learn about important events of the past, but also to experience them. Every summer, Camp Ogle will feature several separate simulations that will challenge the students to make problem solving decisions on important historical decisions. While learning about some of the events that made our civilization what it is today, students will live the history, as this real-time historical simulation camp will be an experience and academic event that the students will always remember.
The Camp Overview and breakdown of weekly classes are as follows:

WEEK ONE Week of June 14th - June 18th, 2027

All Star Week - Harry Potter, Star Wars, Disney, Back to the Future & Jurassic Park

For the opening week of camp this summer, we will stray from our historical themes and delve into everyone's favorite stories. Students will be placed into a different experiences every day and they will get to live out their adventure this week in several fantastic environments. On Monday, campers enter in Hill Valley, 1985, and perhaps they'll find their way back to 1955. Then, on Tuesday, students will get one day at Hogwarts, solving mysteries that surround all the most famous and infamous witches and wizards at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Our story will then flow and move to a galaxy far, far away on Wednesday as campers will get the chance to guide a Star Destroyer or the Millennium Falcon as they search for the key to unlock a hidden Jedi temple. On Thursday students will then explore the Magical Kingdoms of our favorite Disney fairytales. We'll finish the week on Friday as we land on Isla Nublar on an island that mirrors when Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. Our inevitable summer thunderstorms will likely knock the power out on the island and campers will have to try and survive this cataclysmic situation. This week will function in an adventure style similar to all our history editions, but will use the stories from the most famous current American mythology.

WEEK TWO Week of June 21st - June 25th, 2027

Ancient Greece & Greek Mythology

Long, long ago lived one the world’s first great civilization. The Ancient Greeks provided the building blocks for Roman culture, and, through them, influenced all of the Western tradition. Today, Greek imagery, concepts, and perspectives are found everywhere from our architecture to our money. For one week, students will live amongst the Parthenon, Sparta, Athens, Corinth, Alexander, Socrates, Hercules, Achilles and Zeus. Born from the stories and legends of cultural traditions, myths have also been used for centuries to explain the unknown, to make reason where there is doubt and to give hopeful explanation to the inexplicable. And as time roles on, and science helps us better understand the world around us, these myths have remained a part of us. Not as explanation of the world around us, but as symbols and glimpses to cultures long ago. And throughout the course of the week, students will assume to roles of Achilles, Odysseus, Hercules, Aphrodite and so many more legendary figures, as they live in a world of ancient legends with mysteries abound.

WEEK FOUR Week of July 19th-23rd, 2027

Vikings

In the dead of winter, 793 A.D., men in longships suddenly appeared along the banks of the medieval town of Lindisfarne. They attacked and raided a wealthy home, taking all of the treasures they could find. These people from the north terrified all the town’s people as so many innocent were targeted. And none proved any match for these surprise raiders who ruthlessly took what they wanted, and left in a blur. Like a fiery dragon suddenly appearing out of the cold midst the Viking Age had begun in Medieval England. Students who enter the final week of this summer’s camp will learn the complete history of these violent nomadic people whose history began and finished at lightning pace. Students will step into the Medieval World as Saxons, Normans, Celts or the Norse as they defend their homes against these terrors from the north.

My goal as a teacher is to not only to give my students an educational adventure that they will always remember, but also to open their minds and hopefully allow them to see our world in a different way then they ever have before. I teach through simulation, motivation and inspiration. My students live the experience, and they retain knowledge because what they are learning about is happening to them and becomes meaningful to them. Their experiences will create memories, understanding and knowledge that will always stay with them.
