Join us this summer for one (or two) residential high school camps that focus on a variety of content areas. Students choose one subject area to study for the entire week and enjoy academic sessions led by experienced faculty and talented college students multiple times each day. Students will get a five-day, college-like experience that includes all food, lodging, supplies, evening activities and hands-on exploration of an academic area in the context of a Christian community. We can’t wait to explore with you this summer!

Safety and FUN come first at this camp. AGES 6-13. Includes swim and dive instruction, arts/crafts, sports/games, did we mention FUN? Come learn through play at this summer camp! Camp fills up fast so register early.

Become a purr-fect veterinarian! Camp participants adopt a plush feline patient and learn how vet help take care of pet cats. These future veterinarians will learn how to perform a tip- to-tail exam, suture lacerations, to set up a litter box and safe areas for their pet, make cat toys, and more!

This course is for the absolute beginner, who most likely has had no prior exposure to coding. No prior coding experience is required but basic QWERTY keyboarding skills are helpful. The goal of this camp is to bring students from beginning concepts, develop basic skills, to acquiring a foundational familiarity with the Java programming language and development environment(s), Upon completing this camp the student should • Have a clear ability to gauge their own personal interest in developing further coding skills and knowledge • Have established a strong knowledge base for extending their coding ability either via further coursework or self-directed study • Have gained direct technical experience with fundamental programming structures; sequence, selection (if’s or decisions) and repetition (loops), variables and data types • Have gained direct technical experience with basic object oriented concepts and terminology (objects and classes, methods, etc.) This is a great, low-stress opportunity for students to encounter technology and program development for the first time. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability (QWERTY) and nothing more. Camp attendees must bring their own computer; Windows or Apple / Mac work equally well. iPads/tablets will not work.

Python is one of the most versatile programming languages today, used not only by developers, but also data scientists, data engineers, researchers, and business professionals at all levels. Applications include back-end ecommerce and web development, scripting solutions to business problems, and as perhaps the most valuable / heavily relied upon data analytics and visualization language today. Students in this camp will learn Python from two key perspectives. First, we will use Python to explore foundational programming concepts such as structures (iteration, decisions) and structured program techniques versus object-oriented programming (objects, classes, methods) variables, data types, memory management, error detection and debugging, and more. Secondly, we will use Python and its rich libraries of data analytics functionality to conduct basic data analyses, explore Python data visualization tools, discuss Big Data and Python’s ability to analyze Big Data. Learning Python from these two different perspectives – program development and data analytics – is perhaps the best possible exposure to coding schools that a high school student can receive. It develops parallel “how to” (programming) skills and “how to apply” (analytics) skills into one cohesive camp experience. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more. No prior programming experience required – basic keyboarding ability and nothing more.

Take your craft to the next level with this two-week course. Hone your audition technique, deep dive into scene work, and learn more about the professional theatre scene in St. Louis and beyond. Metro Theater Company and Saint Louis University invite advanced middle school students to explore acting, stage combat, movement, and more with professional theater artists! Campers will also participate in field trips to The Fabulous Fox Theatre and Metro Theater Company. Attending Grand Theater Camp: Intro to Acting, is suggested, but not required. Lunch will be provided daily by SLU dining. There will be a performance for family and friends on the last day of camp. $1,050 for all four weeks of Middle School and Middle School Advanced.
