Item Description

www.curiousjanecamp.com  - with this package, purchase one week AT THE REGULAR PRICE and receive a second week for the price of your bid

Curious Jane is a summer program for 3rd-6th grade girls; CJ Junior is designed specifically for our younger set, 1st-2nd grade girls.  All of their class themes revolve around creative explorations in design, engineering and the sciences.  Toy Design, Story Arts, Lab Science, Building Workshop, Animal Nature, Wired 101, Zine Scene, DIY Fashion . . . which ones would you choose?  Everything is hands-on and project-based.  Girls learn and have fun through doing.  They are encouraged to be active, look at things in new ways and, above all, experiment!

The founder of Curious Jane, Samantha Razook, is a mother of two girls who wanted to provide her girls, and all girls, a chance to be creative and inventive in a high-energy, collaborative and gender-affirming space. To that end, she created a camp where girls can explore design, writing, science and engineering.  Your 3rd grade through 6th grade girls can learn how to build skyscrapers, a geodesic dome, build functioning robots and make sea-creature lamps. At Curious Jane Junior, your K-2nd grader will love making scuttle-bugs in Toy Design, fashion together a magazine or create a bug habitat!

Girls choose from such cool themes like Toy Design, Lab Science, Buildings, Story Arts, Animals, DIY Fashion, Robotics and Zine. Each class is hands-on and project based. (Just check out those girls in the Science Slime photo below. Tell me that isn’t hands-on!) All themes are offered all weeks, so there’s no danger in missing out!

Changes coming to camp in 2012: early bird drop-off, class assurance, and longer theme time for more in-depth projects. Dates and locations have been updated for summer 2012!

 

"It’s easiest to quote my daughter’s words exactly: Best Camp in the Universe, Greatest Teachers Ever! We have been so very happy with everything, from the fun projects to the super smart, sweet teachers. In fact, she asked to stay for after-camp because she was enjoying herself so much. It has been – hands down – the best camp experience ever! So inspiring and I know she felt safe just to be herself. Thanks a million; it really meant so much for all of us. We’re looking forward to next summer! – Rikke (parent)"
