Photography is a way to capture a memory, a moment in time forever frozen. In this camp, students will learn how to enhance the beauty of a moment, draw the eye to a specific point, adjust the way the camera captures light, focus on an object, and how to edit photos to change the story the photo tells. We will work with a whole array of styles such as portrait, landscape, cityscape, architecture, and object focus. Along with that we will learn to see the world from a different view to find the beauty in the ordinary world.

Physics can be very challenging, as there is a great deal of mathematical thinking involved.  Tutoring for high school students will answer questions from your classes, help you with writing quality answers to questions as well as doing the math involved, which can be extensive. We will provide homework help to get that done early in the weekend so that you can have fun the rest of it.  We will also do hands-on activities and slow-motion video to help our kinetic and visual learners see what is going on. Michelle will provide tutoring for these sessions, as she has taught high school Physics, has a Bachelor's degree in STEM and was an RF Engineer for AT&T.  This class can be done in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location.

We are so excited to add this new art class where students will learn the art of soap making, create different soaps to take home to use, sell or give as gifts.  Half of our time will be spent on soaps and the other half will be candle making, which is much more complex than we might think.  We'll start with hot candle making and then develop new candles using cold press.  Students will decide on different designs, shapes, fragrances and colors.  All of their creations will be sent home with students at the end of the week.

Veterinary medicine is an incredibly popular science for young people. It is also pretty challenging, as the patients veterinarians treat cannot tell them what hurts or how they feel. In this camp, students will learn about hematology (study of blood), parasitology (common skin, fecal and blood parasites) and microbiology (microscopic organisms which cause diseases). They will do case studies on small and large animal diagnosis of diseases based on symptoms and winners of the case-study contests will win prizes.
