Week 1: June 17 - 21

BUILD-A-BIKE (BASIC BICYCLE MECHANICS) 

Ages 12-16  |  8:30am - 3pm  |  $350 

A bicycle doesn’t seem like a simple machine, but with a few tricks and some common tools, you can fix and build your own! Join Waldorf bicycle enthusiast (and String Teacher) Elias ‘Mr. G’ Gross for a hands-on journey through basic bicycle mechanics. Students will learn how to strip a bicycle down to its component parts and build a working bicycle from the frame up. Students will learn how to use common bicycle tools safely and will learn how to diagnose common bicycle problems. Students will test out their new bikes on campus at the end of camp and can choose to keep or donate their finished project.

BASKETBALL DRIBBLING & SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

Ages 10 - 15  |  8:30am - 3pm  |  $330

Campers don't have to take themselves too seriously in order to benefit from this skills camp — we will still have lots of fun! They will enjoy working hard and challenging their existing self-beliefs in order to improve their skills. Coach Davis’s camp will focus on dribbling skills, in-game moves, and basketball IQ awareness. A great camp for those who are looking to improve their overall skill of the game of basketball while making some new friends. Each day we will track the progress of each camper so they can have an overall understanding of how they can continue to grow. Certificates will be given to each participant at the end of the camp.

DANCE & CRAFTS CAMP

Ages 7 - 10  |  8:30am - 3pm  |  $330

Dance is such a wonderful way for children to express themselves creatively. Campers will experience the joy of dance while learning choreography and exploring various styles of dance such as contemporary, lyrical, ballet, and jazz. Each day campers will also enjoy working on a craft. Campers do not need to have previous dance experience. Please come dressed comfortably for dancing and bring the following items: 

• Yoga mat 

• Water bottle 

• Healthy snack and lunch 

• Sunscreen and hat

WATERCOLOR MAGIC: NATURE WATERCOLOR  & FLOWER PRESSING

Ages 7 - 11  |  8:30am - 3pm  |  $330

Join Ms. Atula in creating nature-inspired art. In this camp, we will dive deep into nature magic as we explore flower-pressing and watercolor art inspired by what we see in full garden bloom. Each camper will have their own flower-pressing journal with which to press flowers, and to use as a plant meditation journal.

Atula and her family moved to Chapel Hill in 2019 for friends and community.
