Discovery Days - where imagination comes alive...at camp!

How does a butterfly eat? Do snakes really dig holes? What’s a mountain beaver? How does an owl see at night? We’ll investigate these questions and more through experiments, exploration, games, stories, and art. Spend a week with one of our naturalists and you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation of the science behind the world around us and the creatures that inhabit it.

Believe it or not, scientists spend a lot of time outdoors. We’ll follow in their footsteps as we investigate the mysteries behind the world we live in and learn what makes it tick. Our creeks, ponds, wetlands, forests, meadows, and fully-stocked laboratory will be our classroom. You’ll get to meet some of the scientists behind the Brightwater Treatment plant and learn how Brightwater helps keep the Puget Sound clean. We’ll integrate games, art, and free exploration as well to round out the week and make sure that you’ll leave with a new understanding of what it means to “do science.”

How did people reach for the skies before they had airplanes? From the giant man-lifting kites of the ancient Chinese to Montgolfiers’ balloon, campers will explore all the ways people explored the skies centuries before the Wright brothers were ever born.

Summer time is fun time! Have an outstanding time developing your sports skills at a fun filled camp with knowledgeable, enthusiastic staff. Little Champs is focused on the FUNdamentals that are age appropriate and show an emphasis on health and sportsmanship. Campers wil be grouped by age.

Explore the wonderful world of insects at Lake Washington Girls Middle School. Together, we will delve into the world of insects through 3 dimensional art projects, scavenger hunts through our neighborhood, educational games and hands on dissections of a grasshopper. Whether your girls are afraid of creepy crawlies or fascinated by arthropods, they will love this week of STEAM-focused fun. STEAM Camp is an exciting and hands-on learning opportunity for young people with a special emphasis on the STEAM curriculum areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics). As educators, we must provide educational opportunities that endeavor to integrate the arts, sciences, and technology for this to happen. LWGMS already embraces this educational model, and is currently in the process of developing curriculum for our students that is cutting edge, and that integrates the arts into the STEM model: STEAM. STEAM design classes incorporate problem-solving, creativity, collaboration, presentation, prototyping, and response to critique (resilience). Here at LWGMS, in summer camps and the school classroom, we are celebrating the STEM to STEAM initiative. Sign up today!

Seattle may have a lot of rain, but we also have lots of lakes and beaches to play in during the summer. In this two day camp, kids will make beach necessities, a swimsuit coverup and floppy beach hat. They will learn the basics of sewing on the machine as well as oodles of other sewing techniques. A small materials list will be emailed before class.

Digging in the soil, getting their hands dirty, children thrive as they learn to grow fruits and vegetables in an engaging, sustainable manner! Your child will spend the week with Jenny Pell discovering a new relationship with their environment and their food.

This camp is all about putting things together and building. They will transform drawings into 3 dimensional works of art while working on concepts like visual balance and narrative. Students will create collages, wall-hangings, buildings, spaceships and cars out of cardboard, plastic, paper, wood and much more.

Our Level 1 (beginning) camps are designed for the complete beginner. We provide all the required fencing equipment. Our USFCA certified instructors start at the very beginning with the on guard position and basic footwork. We teach basic offensive and defensive moves, the basic rules of the game of foil fencing, and end with an informal tournament on Friday. Junior classes are focused on technique, tactics, and mechanics. Our goal in camp is to have fun while learning the basics of modern Olympic sports fencing.
