Enrichment themes:

Week 1 (July 8 – July 12): Fins, Feathers and Fur
An Exploration of ZoologyHave you ever wondered what a zoologist does? Do you know the difference between a reptile and an amphibian? What is a marsupial? Lovers of animals big and small are invited to come spend the week learning how animals are classified, exploring their habitats, and discovering how they have adapted to the environment in which they live.

Week 2 (July 15 – July 19): Sage Space Odyssey 2013

Your mission is to explore the depths of our universe and beyond. From the science of flight to the mysteries of the Milky Way, we will spend the week learning about the wonders of space. Join us as we explore the more than 300 billion stars and planets that make up our solar system.

Week 3 (July 22 – July 26) Dig It!
Unearthing Mysteries of the Past
Do you know the difference between a Paleontologist and an Archaeologist? Are you intrigued by what might lie under the dirt in your own backyard? Our expedition will travel back in time to explore the Earth before modern civilization. Focusing on fossils, relics, ruins and treasures, we’ll discover what life on earth was like many years ago.

Week 4 (July 29 – August 2): Passport to the World
An Exploration of Culture
Grab your suitcase and get ready to set sail as we travel the world! Each day we will visit a new and exotic location.
