Lake Forest Academy launches<br />
STEM camp for summer 2018<br />
Though the academic<br />
year ends in June, Lake<br />
Forest Academy’s campus<br />
will continue to buzz with<br />
activity during the summer<br />
months. LFA hosts various<br />
camps every year for a<br />
variety of age groups with<br />
different interests, including<br />
its hockey camp program<br />
and summer program<br />
for ESL learners.<br />
This year, LFA will also<br />
offer weeklong science<br />
camps for rising sixth-,<br />
seventh-, and eighth-graders.<br />
Registrants can sign<br />
up for full-day or halfday<br />
sessions that will take<br />
place from June 18-June<br />
22 and June 25-June 29.<br />
Full-day sessions are from<br />
9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Halfday<br />
sessions are from 9<br />
a.m.-noon or 12:30-3:30<br />
p.m. Extended care is also<br />
available until 5 p.m.<br />
LFA’s own teaching<br />
faculty will lead each session,<br />
and students will be<br />
able to dive in to engaging<br />
topics about the environment,<br />
natural elements,<br />
engineering and chemistry.<br />
Budding scientists who<br />
want to learn about the human<br />
body and forensic archeology<br />
will get a chance<br />
to do real-world experiments,<br />
and tech-savvy engineers<br />
can choose to build<br />
rockets or wire robots.<br />
Each session will take<br />
place in the LEED-compliant<br />
Reyes Family Science<br />
Center, which features<br />
seven lab-classrooms with<br />
state-of-the-art equipment,<br />
a robotics lab, a math lab,<br />
an environmental studies<br />
greenhouse and conference<br />
rooms. Lunch will<br />
be provided in the Student<br />
Union, and campgoers can<br />
spend free time in the active<br />
student common areas.<br />
