School holiday breaks are an exciting time for kiddos. There are no alarm clocks to wake them bright and early and they essentially have free rein to spend their day as they wish—don’t we all love breaking our normal routine every once in a while?
While lounging around, watching TV and playing all day is a child’s perfect lineup, inevitable boredom can quickly set in. Fortunately, parents can turn to iCAMP, a New York-based camp, during the holidays to keep little ones entertained and engaged in learning.
iCAMP provides drop-in, holiday camps for children ages four to 10 years old throughout New York City, Westchester and the Hamptons. With a motto that “kids are creators,” iCAMP offers a custom curriculum that features unique STEAM lessons. Children may participate in workshops, including science, coding, robotics, studio and graphic art, filmmaking, video game design or 3D printing classes.
Campers are also encouraged to learn by doing and are led by skilled instructors to achieve hands-on projects that are thought-provoking and interactive. These activities can include building a robot, flying a drone, creating a work of art, or conducting a science experiment.
“Our mission was, and is, to create the program we wanted in the world for our children,” said iCAMP co-founders Lulu and Brendan Manley in a joint online statement. “We created somewhere for kids to learn creativity, confidence, and critical thinking through the mediums of physical and digital creative tools.”
How does iCAMP stand out from others in the state?
iCAMP provides children the opportunity to learn more about their interests in an environment that fosters creativity and curiosity, while also offering all the benefits of a traditional camp. Campers can learn exciting new STEAM-based subjects and build lifelong friendships, create memorable experiences, and grow on a personal and developmental level.
With an average five-to-one staff-to-camper ratio, iCAMP ensures that all kids are given the proper attention and guidance. As STEAM specialists, instructors also strive to make campers feel like they’re truly learning and are supported during each activity they participate in.
