An Independent School • Grades 5-12

Investigative Learning Camp Jr. (Grades 3-4)

Exploration and play lead to serious learning at Lakeside's Investigative Learning Camp Jr. Our camp is open to the public.

Students from any school entering grades 3-4 select two classes (a morning and an afternoon class) per week in the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art) realm. Campers are taught by dynamic elementary and middle-school teachers and supported by a diverse group of camp counselors who share campers’ passion for learning.

Registration for Summer 2024 is now closed. Registered families may access their summer account here.

Class options

Families register for individual weeks. Campers choose a morning class and an afternoon class for each week of camp. Please note that some classes will be offered certain weeks but not others.

Campers signed up for morning art or afternoon cooking should wear clothes that may get messy. Smocks/aprons will be provided, but spills do happen! Campers signed up for all activities (and especially afternoon sports) should wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes.
