School Holidays at Ignite The Mind is a great way to keep your kids learning! We do educational enrichment all day in a structured, age-appropriate and fun way to help kids feel confident and excited about what they are learning. We offer creative projects in the arts, such as painting, drawing, ceramics and other crafts and games to improve thinking, timing and athletic skills. The day will be full of fun ways to get caught up in these skills and accelerate skills beyond current grade levels, as well as have some fun with the arts. There will also be time allotted to get all homework completed with the support of licensed teachers so that all students can have a worry-free weekend! Bring a water bottle, snack and lunch. Bring a water bottle, snack and lunch (we cannot provide food to students). -
The All Day STEAM Camps give students the opportunity to attend both the morning and afternoon camps. Mornings start at 8:00 a.m. and end at 12:00. We will have your child eat a packed lunch brought from home with us between 12:00 and 1:00, supervised free time. The afternoon sessions start at 1:00 p.m. and end at 5:00 p.m. For the All Day STEAM Camp, you will receive a reduction in the rate of signing up for two camps. Camps are generally for children 7 and older. If you need to drop your child off earlier than 8 or pick them up later than 5, please let us know your needs! We've decided to also offer a camp for our younger kiddoes (3 to 6) the weeks of June 23-27 and July 28-August 1st, 2025 -

Most students are either behind or struggling in Math throughout the country due to pandemic. If this is the case for your child, this is what you need. We have designed these classes to both develop confidence and build standards-based skills using unique strategies, particularly for our kinetic and visual learners. If you are interested in advancing your child beyond grade-level math, we can help with that too. Michelle will provide tutoring for these sessions. We can offer both in person and virtual classes, depending upon your needs. -
Our little kids' discovery camps are generally for ages 3 to 6 years old and are all STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) based. The morning sessions are more about the arts and the afternoon sessions are about the science, math, technology and engineering. Each day, students will go home with something that they created, such as a drawing, a piece of pottery, jewelry, model of a rocket, the building they made, the plants they transplanted and so much more. Here, you can choose either a morning option (8-12), an afternoon option (1-5) or a full day option (8-5). If you need to drop off earlier or pick up later, please just let us know. -
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. -
In this class we will learn different techniques of painting and drawing. We will learn what types of paint to use to create different pieces as well as what levels of graphite to use to achieve various styles of drawings. We will work with recreating objects realistically and abstractly using color theory. Students will be able to work alone or with another student to expand their knowledge and skills. -
Chemistry is so challenging, but is truly the most interesting STEM topic once students understand and feel confident with it. Michelle will support these sessions, as she has taught General Chemistry, Honors Chemisty, IB Chemistry and has a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Science from the College of Veterinary Medicine. These sessions 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. Challenging Chemistry concepts include stoichiometry, period table trends, electron orbitals, ionization, chemical equations, energy, light, atomic models, etc. and much more. You can get the support you need either in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location. -
In astronomy camp, kids will learn details about our solar system and our galaxy. We’ll talk with Astrobiologists about their research to find life on other planets. We’ll figure out ways to get humans from Earth to Mars, and how we can sustain life there, which involves some chemistry. Students will learn how a telescope works. They will build one of two different types of simple telescopes—an astronomical and a terrestrial telescope—each with a magnification of 5X. They then experiment with the different telescope designs and determine how the lens combination in each telescope works to magnify an object’s image. At the end of the week, students can take their telescope home so that they can look at the stars. -

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, then develop new soaps using cold press and then make melted was candles. 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. -
Ignite The Mind is now offering our venue for birthday parties! There are three options: you may just rent out our space per hour, have us also provide a fun STEAM activity per your theme, or choose an all-in option, where all you do is make the decisions, and we do everything for you. You must sign up and pay for your party to reserve a space/time. While we will do everything we can to make sure you can use our space during the date/time you want, we cannot guarantee it if it is already reserved.
