SPOTLIGHT DISCOVERY 2024

  All campers are invited to join in the fun and use their curiosity, creativity, and investigative problem-solving skills to enjoy science through hands-on experimentation and stimulating activities. These aspiring scientists will travel from class to class at Gesu School.  Certified teachers will use an inquiry-based approach to learning during the four classes each day.  Campers will explore their own “smarts” in a child-centered environment while participating in science and gym activities throughout the week. Camp groups consist of 10-15 campers of similar ages under the care of the camp director, teachers and older student counselors.

• Animal Endangerment and Extinction! ~ The Sundra tiger, the rhinoceros, the Asian elephant, the green sea turtle: Why do some animals become threatened, endangered or even extinct? Is this part of nature’s cycle or can people do things to prevent the loss of irreplaceable species? Learn more about endangered and threatened species and how we can help them to survive!

• Animal Expressions and Environments! ~ Did you know that animals can talk? What does a monkey’s “cough call” mean?
