Our youngest campers created Jupiter models, worked on puzzles, and practiced fine motor skills. Students in 1st and 2nd grade sharpened their math skills with space-themed board games while learning about comets and asteroids.
Meanwhile, our 5th-8th graders wrapped up their character treat project inspired by A Wrinkle in Time. After voting on their favorite creation, Calvin's Brownie Twist came out on top! Students worked together in the kitchen to prepare the dessert and then enjoyed sampling the winning treat.
Summer Camp is flying by, and we're loving every minute of it! 🌎✨

🚀 We can’t believe we’re already halfway through Summer Camp!
Today, campers continued their space-themed adventures with hands-on learning and creativity. Students made planet bracelets, shape rockets, constellation models, and Earth-Moon orbit models while practicing important reading and math skills.
Our older campers kept working through A Wrinkle in Time, explored the differences between fantasy and science fiction, sharpened their math skills through games, and prepared ingredients for their character-inspired treats.
🚀 Week 2 is underway at Brady Summer Camp!
Despite a little thunderstorm excitement, our campers had another great day of learning and exploring. Students learned about planets and moon phases, practiced reading and math skills, completed constellation activities, and continued their adventures through A Wrinkle in Time. Junior high students also checked on their growing sugar crystals and battled it out in a game of Equation Battleship.
Every day brings new discoveries as we continue our journey through space! 🌎✨

Yesterday, our students spent part of the day giving back through a variety of community service projects around the area! From replanting flowers at the Brady sign, repainting benches at Palmer Park, creating door decorations for Stone Hearth in Gothenburg, and cleaning up trash around the football field, overpass, and around town — our students worked hard to make a positive impact in our communities.
We are proud of the effort, teamwork, and pride they showed while serving others! 👏🦅
