City Camp Vs. Specialty Camps


At Little Van Goghs Camp, students will explore the works of Van Gogh, Kadinsky, Seurat, Harring, and more! We will study these artists and then create our own works using their techniques.

Campers with a big heart will participate in community service projects, both on and off campus. Potential activities including volunteering at a local food pantry, caring for animal shelter pets, and gardening at a community urban garden, just to name a few.

At Harry Potter camp, students will attend Hogwarts Kansas City to study topics including fantastic beasts, potions, Hogwarts USA history, and dueling.

During Princess Adventure Camp, campers embrace their inner royalty with activities like designing crowns and wands, playing royal-themed games, and enjoying stories about different fairytale princesses.

At the Superhero Training Academy, young heroes-in-the-making create their own superhero identities and discover the true qualities that make someone a hero! Through fun and interactive activities, kids develop their unique superpowers, face exciting mock missions, and learn the importance of teamwork, courage, and integrity. They design their own costumes, train their strength and agility, and embark on heroic adventures, all while discovering real-life heroes in their community and beyond!

Inspired by the Broadway show, Stomp, we will make music and create movement using everyday items from around the school. This high-energy week culminates with a performance created by students. Warning: we sometimes make big noises and big messes!

During City Market Chefs camp, students travel to NKC’s popular City Market, learn how to pick out the best produce, identify creative ways to cook healthy, and enjoy the art of cooking! On Friday, students present a cooking show for parents and friends!
