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.
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.
