​

WEEK 1: MYSTERIOUS
ANIMALS

July 7 - July 11, 2025  |  $450

​Some animals are tricky to find, and others only exist in stories! This week, we’ll peek into the world of creatures that glow, hide, or change shape—both real and mythical. We’ll imagine our own magical animals, create habitats, and learn how creatures big and small make their homes in the world.

WEEK 2: UNDERGROUND
WORLDS

July 14 - July 18, 2025  |  $450

Beneath our feet, a whole hidden world is buzzing with life! Tunnels twist and turn, roots stretch and grow, and creatures big and small make their homes in the dark. This week, we’ll dig into the wonders of underground worlds—meeting burrowing animals, glowing caves, and twisting root systems. Through hands-on digging, storytelling, and art, we’ll uncover the magic happening just below the surface!

WEEK 3: CREATURES 
OF THE DEEP

July 21 - July 25, 2025  |  $450

The ocean is full of surprises—glowing jellyfish, strange sea dragons, and creatures that live where no sunlight reaches! This week, we’ll dive deep into the sea to learn about the weird, wonderful life hiding beneath the waves. Through art, movement, and experiments, we’ll explore the watery world below.

WEEK 4: MAGIC &
MYSTERY

July 28 - August 1, 2025  |  $450

Some things in the world are easy to explain, and others feel like magic! This week, we’ll play with invisible forces, hidden patterns, and secret codes. We’ll solve mysteries, invent superpowers, and use our imaginations to create our own magical worlds.

WEEK 5: BEYOND THE
STARS

August 4 - August 8, 2025  $450

The night sky is full of twinkling lights, and each one has a story to tell! This week, we’ll imagine what’s out there—planets, aliens, black holes, and maybe even new worlds waiting to be dreamed up! With art, music, and play, we’ll let the stars inspire us to think big and reach for the sky.
