Item Description

Enjoy one full week OR two half weeks (a $350 value) including registration fees of either Sports Camp, The Great Books Summer Academy or a combination of the two.

The Great Books Summer Academy is Chaminade’s special brand of summer camp aimed at educating the whole child.  Each day students in the Academy have an opportunity to exercise their minds, bodies, and creative spirits.  The Summer Academy is dedicated to helping each young person develop his or her own best thinking and ideas, as well as the skills for leadership, and respect for others.

The Great Books K-12 program is the cornerstone of the program and is specially designed to help students become independent readers and thinkers ready for the diverse demands of the 21st century. Each academy student is enrolled in a 55-minute grade-leveled Great Books course which will be taught using the ‘Shared Inquiry’ method. This research-proven strategy combines rich texts and active, collaborative problem-solving that increases achievement in reading comprehension, critical thinking, and communication skills.

Prepare your child for the challenges of a college preparatory education and give them the skills they need to be successful.  Enroll them in the Great Books Summer Academy at Chaminade College Preparatory. Critical thinking is a priceless skill that translates across academic disciplines and is integral to achievement.
