An Innovative Camp Comes To Monmouth County

Voyagers' Summer Camp in Monmouth County is customer-friendly, flexible, price conscious and exciting, offering STEAM for ages 5-14

Let's Talk Summer Camp. After a year of research, Voyagers' Community School has launched Voyagers' Summer Camp 2017. This camp is customer-friendly, flexible, price conscious and as exciting as possible. The wants and interests of children and families are at the forefront. Children, ages 5-14, can attend for The Whole Shebang, 9 weeks plus 2 days, or by the day with the purchase of a Day-Pass Plan. Camp opens on June 22 and continues through August 25. Creativity Labs open from 9:30-3:30 but the camp is open from 8:00-6:00, all for the same price. There are no extra charges.

There are so many unique aspects to this summer camp. All Creativity Labs are open every day, with unlimited activities to choose from. Kids go where they want, to do want they want. Campers move freely about the air conditioned building and the secured yard because counselors are right on hand to help them.

Science - When given the chance, kids are budding scientists. Botanist, veterinarians, marine biologists, environmentalists and chemists in the kitchen will love our super-cool lab. Pop, Fizz, bubble, look through a microscope, pet, feed, shampoo, plant, grow, harvest and cook… These are only some of the things our science seekers will do.

Technology - Kids love to tell stories. Create storyboards, stop-motion animation and live-action movies, set to original music with iPads, iMovie, Animation Stations and Green Screen Technology. Kids sing, mix electronic music, strike up a band with a drum machine and digital guitars and keyboards, and record like a professional.

Electronics and Engineering - Kids see the world through the eyes of an engineer. At the E2 Center, they solve problems through discovery, based on everyday challenges. Kids check out gravity, air pressure, and material properties. They build, test and launch rockets, planes and rovers. They explore flight, soldering and circuitry, Arduino, optics and light, and fun and practical gadgets.

Art - What happens when you sit kids in front of a sewing machine, offer them an iPad Pro and an Apple Pen, set out easels and artist’s paint and canvas? Their creativity shines. Whether hand or machine sewing, creating a digital storyboard, knitting or crocheting or sculpting with clay their imaginations flourishes and their confidence soars.

Machines and Math - Kids test their hand at 2D sketching and 3D modeling and printing, game design, robotics, and experimenting with potential and kinetic energy while building catapults, rollercoasters, and balloon-powered cars. They investigate physics and engineering through logic and problem-solving at their own pace, with guidance. They innovate.
