SUMMER CAMP GUIDE
Welcome to <strong>Snapology</strong>’s<br />
2018 Summer Camp Guide!<br />
New for this year are some fantastic programs<br />
where we take a closer look at alternative energy,<br />
sports science, drones, art history and the science<br />
behind super powers!<br />
We can’t wait for this summer’s camps that will be held at <strong>Snapology</strong>’s<br />
Discovery Center in Uptown, as well as around the Twin Cities at some<br />
absolutely fabulous partner locations like Minnehaha Academy, Blake<br />
School, Kiddywampus and more. Discovery Center camps can be<br />
attended as morning or afternoon sessions, or you can combine the 2<br />
themes for the week and have your kiddo bring a lunch and learn and<br />
build all day!<br />

This year we’ve got a ton of great camps happening<br />
at our new Discovery Center in Uptown every week of<br />
the summer, as well as at some of our favorite schools<br />
and educational partners around the Twin Cities. We’ve<br />
got you covered for kiddos as young as 3 and as old<br />
as 14 - Robotics, Coding, Science, Technology, Themed<br />
Camps, Pre-K, Engineering, Architecture and more!<br />

NOLOGY
How <strong>Snapology</strong> Camps Work<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong> Camps Locations<br />
CURRICULUM: <strong>Snapology</strong> camps provide a perfect mixture of learning and<br />
fun. We incorporate the education, social skills and STEAM concepts into the<br />
creating, inventing, games and fun. All of the learning principles taught in our<br />
programs are mapped to Common Core Standards and many are mapped to<br />
Next Generation Science Standards.<br />
CAMP TIMING: Each week has numerous camps that are as short as 3 hours<br />
and as long as 35 hours.<br />
FULL DAY CAMPS: Almost all of the camps taking place at our Discovery<br />
Center can be registered for as either morning or afternoon camps, or combined<br />
into a full day/full week camp that cover 2 different themes that work well<br />
together. There are separate registration links for morning/afternoon/full day.<br />
Children will bring bagged lunches to eat with the group each day.<br />
AGES: The schedule has something for everyone! Short Pre-K camps,<br />
educational and fun camps for kids going into Kindergarten, awesome grade<br />
school camps, and programs designed specifically for middle schoolers as well.<br />
We tried to spread them all out evenly throughout the summer and around the city.<br />
PARTNER LOCATIONS: We’re back at Hale, Kiddywampus and Minnehaha<br />
Academy this year, which we’re super excited about! We’re also going to be<br />
running camps at all 3 Blake School campuses, The Friends School, St. Paul<br />
JCC and Crystal Rec Center.<br />
EXERCISE AND ENERGY: While <strong>Snapology</strong>’s camps include some games<br />
and activities that get the kids moving, we’re firmly in the academic camp arena.<br />
However, most of our partners provide physical camps that can be paired with<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong> camps, so your children can get some energy out and learn and<br />
build as well. Our Discovery Center is 1 block away from Whittier School, which<br />
happens to have a fantastic park and field. We will offer families the option of<br />
having their children go over to the park with our staff for 15-20 minute breaks in<br />
the morning and afternoon to run a bit.<br />
REGISTRATION: The “Camp Registration Calendar” link below will take you<br />
to a calendar view of the summer. You can toggle the view by location or a full<br />
list of events if you’d like to see everything we’ve got to offer in a different way.<br />
When you click on a camp, you will see which ages the camps are best suited<br />
for, cost, timeframe and information about the camp content.<br />

SNAPOLOGY VISION:<br />
Children are meant to learn through play. When children are actively<br />
engaged in hands-on, interactive learning activities, their creativity<br />
flourishes and they show a greater interest in school. At <strong>Snapology</strong> we<br />
help your child grow up with a thirst for knowledge. How do we do it?<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong> engages children ages 1-14 using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and<br />
technology. While the kids are having fun with familiar toys, laptops and<br />
iPads, we sneak in the educational concepts.<br />
RESEARCH BASED<br />
Our approach is based on proven research; that childrens’ best learning experiences<br />
come from actively designing, creating, interacting and inventing. <strong>Snapology</strong> activities<br />
encourage social skills and teamwork, while teaching science, technology, engineering,<br />
art, math and literacy concepts.<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong>’s flexible curriculum allows teachers to adapt to the needs of each unique<br />
group of students while allowing children to progress and explore at their own pace.<br />
The curriculum is designed to benefit all students - gifted, traditional, and special needs<br />
students including sensory and autism spectrum.<br />
ROBOTICS FOR ALL AGES!<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong> provides interactive Robotics programs for children ages 3-14 using LEGO®<br />
bricks. Students in our robotics programs learn pseudo-coding, coding, robotics and<br />
engineering principles. Using fun topics and themes, such as animals, games, space<br />
and battle machines, we embrace children’s interest and curiosity to guide them<br />
through robotics and engineering principles. Our programs provide the best mix of fun<br />
and education for your child. In fact, most kids have so much fun in our programs, they<br />
don’t even realize how much they are learning.<br />
LEGO®- THEMED CLASSES, CAMPS & WORKSHOPS<br />
<strong>Snapology</strong>’s themed programs are designed to promote creative play, teamwork and<br />
social skills. Through the use of popular topics like Minecraft, Star Wars & Superheroes,<br />
students are engaged a variety of theme-focused activities while learning engineering<br />
and math principles. <strong>Snapology</strong>’s goal is to put purpose to their building through<br />
blueprinting and idea sharing.Our themed programs use LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and<br />
other interactive building toys to engage children and spark their creativity.<br />
STEM CAMPS FOR PRE-SCHOOLERS<br />
In <strong>Snapology</strong>’s preschool programs, children ages 2-6 engage in fun, educational<br />
play. At <strong>Snapology</strong> we understand that children are meant to learn through play. Our<br />
programs incorporate DUPLO® blocks and are designed to inspire creativity and<br />
enhance fine motor skills while teaching lessons such as letter recognition, phonics,<br />
writing skills, story telling, basic engineering and robotics. That’s right, we offer robotics<br />
as young as 3 years old. We understand the importance of inspiring kids at young age<br />
to help them reach their full potential.<br />
