Online Summer Camps

If you can’t attend summer camp this year, why not try one online?

A few sites are offering free online “camps” that have a reading and inquiry activities to help continue your learning and keep your mind active this summer.  These are perfect for rainy days or times when you are inside for a while.

  1.  Camp Wonderopolis.  They have a number of camps available from music to science.  All you need to do is choose which interests you and register to participate.
  2. Camp Candlewick.  Candlewick publishers have created a camp that is organized by age.  Just choose your age range and the dates and camp activities are revealed, no registration required.
  3. VarsityTours.  They are offering a number of online interactive classes,including everything from art to science.  Registration is required and although many are free, some courses require payment.
  4. CampPBSKids.  Here are a number of summer activities that are parent led, with some activities associated with PBS programming.
  5. French Camps.  There are many camps available for a charge, however there are also a couple free options.  La Class En Ligne is a series of daily classes available for grades 1-6 taught by Marie-Ève Lévesque– she is a well known teacher in Quebec (you can access previous lessons) and Les Petits Pommes has some online chats available for free (as well as camps at a cost).

I hope these help keep your brain busy this summer–happy isolating!
