CAMP APPLE OFFERS HIGH INTEREST FOR STUDENTS!
Camp Apple provides an ideal balance of old fashioned summer fun, school year readiness and enriching activities for our students. During circle time the focus is on exciting theme based lessons that students are genuinely interested on. Students will also enjoy unique follow up activities with "hands on" experiences that support the lessons: art, music, dance, drama, cooking and games are among the many creative offerings at Camp Apple. Camp Apple is also unique in our emphasis on group interaction and the development of social skills as students learn and observe positive methods of interaction in communicating with teachers, peers, groups and individuals. We have often received compliments from local public school teachers who've let us know of their appreciation of our students' impressive attention spans, enthusiasm for learning and cooperative attitudes.
After the first four weeks of Camp many former Camp Apple students (grades 2-5 in the fall) now attending our sister school and camp, Magic Apple/Camp Western Town) elect to join Camp Apple as well. As educators we feel the positive influence of older students cannot be overstated, and as alumni of Camp Apple, our "big buddies" do a great job in providing direct experience with cooperative learning, team work and peer learning as outstanding peer role models and leaders..
