The curriculum format used for this summer camp is the Project Approach. The beauty of the Project Approach is that the topic chosen is one that appeals to the children in such a way that they are engaged and motivated to learn.

A sampling of the Maryland State Curriculum Standards can be found on each page. Standards from all disciplines are met naturally by investigating a worthy topic in depth .

Welcome!
