What will your camper find in the Wing Luke Museum’s galleries? Magic? An encounter with dragons? Inspiration for creativity?

Wing Luke Museum’s in-person summer camps are back in July and August with three different themed camps for creative explorers ages 6 to 12. Kids make museum spaces their own as they connect with history and have guided creative fun in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District. Your campers will learn about the neighborhood as they flex their creativity and expression through art projects that are sure to delight. Histories, traditions, and cultures collide this summer as we explore the museum in unexpected and engaging ways. Get moving during the action-packed Camp Bruce Lee with daily martial arts training and insightful life lessons from Bruce’s philosophy to help your camper gain confidence and tap into their inner potential. Get inspired by public art in the Chinatown-International District during Sculptures: Big and Small where campers take the beauty, symbols, colors, and traditions found in the neighborhood and make it their own through hands-on art projects. Or, unlock imagination and possibility with Magic in the C-ID, exploring heroes, fantastic creatures, myths, and legends from Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian folklore. There’s a camp for everyone, but space is limited. Sign your little one up today!

Little Kitchen Academy is the key ingredient for an independent child! We are the first-of-its-kind Montessori-inspired cooking academy for kids ages 3 through teen focused on providing a safe, inspiring, and empowering space for children to identify, develop, and refine their senses. In each class, students learn how to make healthy, delicious meals from scratch to consumption — all while experimenting with math and science concepts, working on their reading skills, and polishing up their table manners.

Sessions of three-hour classes are organized by age group for up to 10 students per session (ages 3-5, 6-8, 9-12, and 13+ years old), and are overseen by three instructors per class. The curriculum focuses on seasonal, locally grown, and organic produce and ingredients, and students enjoy the fruits of their labor for a “scratch to consumption” experience.

Give your child the gift of independence and practical life skills this summer with Little Kitchen Academy! Summer Season starts June 13th. With only 10 spots per session, spaces will fill up fast! Register your child now!

With 10 campsites in Manhattan and Brooklyn, NORY Summer is one of the largest and most beloved summer camps in NYC.

What is NORY? Why do families choose NORY?

NORY Summer is like Disney World, with experiential hands-on STEM projects that support the development of NORY’s 3 core values: Resilience, Inquisitiveness, and Empathy. From transforming the campsite into a life-size fort in one week to building a dancing robot to film TikTok music videos in another, future changemakers collaborate to invent unimaginable creations to make their dream come true.

Our immersive weekly experiences introduce campers to purposeful missions (sometimes real-world issues or wild-imaginary ones) and inspire them to learn various skills ranging from woodworking to high-tech robot building to bring their ideas to life. We celebrate their “awesome mistakes” and empower them to develop and test their solutions to create a positive impact they are proud of.

If your child loves sports, simply add soccer or swimming to their STEM program! With 10 locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn, NORY Summer is truly for everyone.

Children are meant to learn through play. When children are actively engaged in hands-on, interactive learning activities, their creativity flourishes and they show a greater interest in school. At Snapology we help your child grow up with a thirst for knowledge!

Snapology camps provide a perfect mixture of learning and fun! We incorporate the education, social skills and STEAM concepts into creating, inventing, games, and fun. All of the learning principles taught in our programs are mapped to Common Core Standards and many are mapped to the Next Generation Science Standards.

Using popular topics like Robotics, Minecraft, Star Wars, & Superheroes, students are engaged in a variety of theme-focused activities while learning engineering and math principles. Snapoloy’s goal is to put purpose to their building through blueprinting and idea sharing. Our themed programs use LEGO bricks, K’Nex and other interactive building toys to engage children and spark their creativity!

In Snapology’s programs, we promote an environment of collaboration and teamwork. We encourage negotiation and compromise through group decision making. Activities during camp will range from Engineering Challenges, Beginner Coding/Robotics, and various fun STEAM related activities driven by the groups interest.
