Minecraft: Zany Zoo!
(Entering 1st – 7th grade)

Scientific American declared, "...not only is Minecraft immersive and creative, but it is an excellent platform for making almost any subject area more engaging." Enter a world of rules, parameters, levels and goals that require hard work, intense thinking, teamwork and problem solving skills. AAALC uses this popular game to provide an academic setting for students. Zany Zoo will provide campers with the tools to build an incredible zoo! Planning, engineering and design will combine to provide students with the tools to create a one of a kind zoo through Minecraft, after studying how other zoos across the country are designed. 

Engineering & Design: Google Earth Meets Virtual Reality (CLOSED)
(Entering 1st-7th Grade)

Google Earth and Virtual Reality activities will take campers around the globe and give them a bird’s-eye view of the many wonders of the world. Campers will visit various famous locations and then engineer architecture from their experiences. What makes the Great Salt Lake so special? How does the Leaning Tower of Pisa stay up? Why was a catapult an important part of warfare for castles? Campers might feel the thrill of a roller coaster and then engineer one of their own. Note: Campers will be asked to bring an iPhone two days of camp if one is available to them. They will use it occasionally only when working with the Virtual Reality glasses. Campers without iPhones are welcome to register and will still receive the full camp experience. 

Muggle Mania: Happy Birthday Harry Potter!
(Entering 3rd-7th grade)

Your child is invited to Harry Potter’s Birthday Party! Inspired by the Harry Potter book series, campers will make their own potions, carve wands, “duel”, play quidditch and attend magic classes. Campers will learn herbology and how to tame wild beasts. Various challenges will fill the day and earn campers “house points” just like those earned in the seven book series. Campers will be sorted into the four houses of Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw to compete for the House Cup. Register you child today and look for your child’s Hogwart’s Acceptance Letter to arrive in your mailbox the week before camp begins!
