Young learners will love the hands-on activities provided in our quality programs taught by enthusiastic and fun instructors. This is definitely not just another day in school!
Bicycle Rodeo
Co-sponsored by the Natchez Bicycle Club, the rodeo provides a fun and safe environment for children ages 5-14 to practice their bike handling skills. They will learn bicycle safety and their bikes will also receive a mechanical check-up. The registration fee is only $10 and includes a bicycle helmet.
Adventures in Science
First through third graders become young scientists as they perform experiments and participate in activities designed to peak their curiosity and stimulate their interest in science. Kids will be astounded by how fun science can be!
French for Kids
Numerous studies have shown that introducing kids to another language at an early age increases test scores and thinking skills. Fourth graders and up will be introduced to all things French with a fun, hands-on approach! Language, food, fun and games all in French!
Zumbatomic
Fun and fitness for kids ages 6 and up all at the same time! This fusion of the Zumba program’s moves is a safe and effective way for kids to get moving. Watch your child’s energy and fitness level soar!
Telling Stories with Cinema
This two-week session for ages 10 and up will amaze kids with what they can create with video. From concept to creation the students will design, film and edit their own short videos in a group setting. They will learn how to work with equipment and computer programs they have available at home!
Math for Fun
Students will discover basic facts and tricks to memorize and master important math skills, including fraction fun, geometry art, and they will also learn about websites that can help reinforce math skills. Two sessions of this class are available, one for second and third grades with the second session available for third through fifth grades.
Young Techie Computer Camp
Ages 7 through 9 will learn important computer basics including the internet and how to use it safely, word processing, computer art, and they will even design and create their own PowerPoint presentations.
