Virtual Summer Sage · June 29 – July 31, 2020

(Updated: June 15, 2020) Summer Sage Exploration for students entering Pre-K and Kindergarten will now be offered as a hybrid format. In addition to online classes, students may join us ON CAMPUS during Weeks 1, 3, 4, and 5! Whether participating virtually or in person, Exploration campers will receive the same exceptional curriculum and academic continuity to spark curiosity and inspire discovery. All students registered for a course will be given a complete supply of required materials which will allow them to participate in course activities, crafts, experiments and more!

Join us this summer for our ‘camp in a box’ weekly virtual camp experience, providing a combination of advanced academics, adventures, creativity and innovation, through workshops, demonstration, experimentation, and fun, educational, hands-on learning.

A pivot from the traditional bricks and mortar summer camp, known as Summer Sage, this unique experience will take place June 29-July 31 for students near and far in Exploration (entering PK-K), Innovation (entering Grades 1-4), and Academy (entering Grades 5-8).

Students will log on to Google Meet with same-aged peers for morning (9 AM -11 AM) and afternoon (12 PM – 2 PM) sessions consisting of short periods of teaching, followed by hands-on time such as demonstrations, experimentations, crafts, and arts to name a few. The sessions are taught by Sage faculty and alumni, through an integrated approach, incorporating STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) and Humanities (literacy, history, social studies), in ways that will spark curiosity and inspire discovery.

Each program has its own unique kit that will be delivered to you prior to the session start date. It will contain the supplies for one of the many fun activities you will look forward to completing virtually that week, as well as a few Summer Sage goodies!

Sessions are $200 for the week, which includes the themed kit and Summer Sage t-shirt. Visit the link at the bottom of the registration form for a full listing of sessions.
