Love writing, design, or sharing your ideas, big or small? In this hands-on Zine-Making Camp, campers will design and publish their very own handmade mini-magazine from start to finish.

Zines (short for “magazines”) are small, independently created booklets that combine writing, art, collage, and bold visual design. For decades, zines have been a creative way for people to share their interests and express independent voices. Whether you want to create comics, write reviews, invent fictional worlds, or explore a topic you care about, this camp is all about bringing your ideas to life on paper.

Throughout the week, campers will engage in introductory journalism while learning the basics of graphic design, layout, and visual communication. By the end of the camp, each student will leave with a one-of-a-kind publication that reflects their passions, creativity, and voice.

Math Club is a place for like-minded, motivated upper elementary students to come together and experience a fresh, engaging, and challenging approach to math. The format: before each class, students will be asked to watch a short YouTube math video from a widely respected and beloved math channel such as Numberphile, Stand-up Maths, or Vi Hart. We will be selecting videos that cover an unexpected or intriguing mathematical idea which is challenging but accessible. During class, we will unpack the video as a group and then students will engage in hands-on activities that reenact, extend, or challenge the video. Afterward, students will receive practice problems and a difficult challenge problem for students to mull over at home between sessions.

Students can join the Club at any time!

• Choose from 2 different times: Sunday Morning Math Club (10:00 - 11:30am every other Sunday) or Sunday Afternoon Math Club (12:30 - 2:00pm every other Sunday).
