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. -
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. -

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. -
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-mo 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 and has a Bachelor's degree in STEM. This class can be done in person or virtually, depending on your needs and location. -
This year, we've added robotics to our camps. Robotics is the wave of the future. We'll learn about the engineering involved in building machines that move on their own. We'll build a solar space rover or design and build our own robot so the kids can take it home and play with it forever! -

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). -

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. -
This 10-week course is for individual schools (within DPS, Jeffco, Platte Canyon or Douglas Counties) to support study skills and test prep for SAT/PSAT. It includes one or two class periods per week at the school as well as all materials and 1:1 support for students who want extra help. For the Fall 2023 semester and the Spring 2024 semester, we will be following the schedule below. Week #1- SAT/PSAT Prep - Overview - importance of doing your best, all about the test (time per section, what it is assessing, etc.) Week #2 - SAT/PSAT Prep - Reading test strategies and practice Week #3 - SAT/PSAT Prep - English test strategies and practice, common misconceptions Week #4 - SAT/PSAT Prep - Math test strategies and practice Week #5 - SAT/PSAT Prep - Review strategies and improvements in scores, next steps and ways to study (Khan and College Board) Week #6 - Study Skills - Goal Setting, Importance of Doing our Best, and Getting Organized Week #7 - Study Skills - Focus and Concentration in Class Week #8 - Study Skills - Completing Assignments and Time Management Week #9 - Study Skills - Note Taking Skills / Reviewing Notes Daily Week #10 - Study Skills - Reviewing Goals, , Review importance, What’s working and what else is needed to improve -
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. They will also practice dissection, identifying muscle tissue, veins, arteries, bones and skin. Lastly, they will practice suturing techniques. Their drawings and case studies will be added to their notebook to use as a reference for their future studies.
