The mornings of the camp will consist of weekly spelling lists, phonics activities, writing, mini novel studies, math and science. All lessons will be targeted to the different age groups. There will also be an added component of Character Education. At Bond Academy believe it is imperative to build positive character traits and values. Throughout the summer, campers will be taught important life skills while focusing on a different character trait each week. The campers will also have the opportunity to work on the computers that are located in each class to assist and enhance their enrichment.

Level 1 (Age 3 - 7)

Our summer days will start with some phonics fun followed by artistic mathematics. Before lunch, we will explore different science topics and discuss how to be a good person through our different character building themes. Incorporated into the lessons will be song and creative arts to keep our summer learning fun.

Level 2 ( Age 8 - 13)

The beginning of our exciting day consists of an academic morning filled with fun and challenging theme based work that will keep their minds alert and interested. The morning will begin with a brain teaser, followed by journal/expository story writing. We will then segue into a mini novel study that will last the duration of the week. There will be a recess break followed by a mental math period and a science period. The morning will conclude with quick lesson that revolves around our Character Education topic of the week.
