BAM! (Because Academics Matter) returns June 11-22

BAM! (Because Academics Matter) Summer Enrichment Program for rising 7th and 8th grade girls and boys returns June 11-22, 2018 with all new programming at Oakland Catholic High School and Central Catholic High School. Girls will experience the camp on Oakland Catholic’s campus, and boys will be at Central Catholic.

BAM! is a great way to get a glimpse into the academic programs found at both schools. By coming on campus, engaging with experienced faculty and current students, and meeting campers from other elementary schools, your daughter or son will feel better prepared for high school both academically and socially.

 

Three reasons to register your student for BAM! (Because Academics Matter) 

1.) Hone in on Math and Writing Skills 

The camp is focused on engaging each camper’s curiosity, while delivering content in a non-traditional, fun, and entertaining manner. Each camper will be enrolled in a daily writing and math class. The writing and math classes will provide great practice on already refined skills, while laying a solid foundation for more advanced material to be encountered in high school. 

2.) Freedom to Choose Electives  

Tailor the BAM! experience to your student’s interests! BAM! returns this year with brand new programming and some revamped old favorites. Each day, campers will engage with several academic subjects that will inspire curiosity for deeper learning.

Electives for girls attending BAM! at Oakland Catholic include:

Electives for boys attending BAM! at Central Catholic include: 

 

Want to make it an all-day experience? Oakland Catholic offers optional afternoon add-ons in Cartooning and Theater. At Central Catholic, boys have the option to join us in the afternoon for courses in Cartooning, Theater, Roller Coaster Physics, Radical Robotics or Chemistry (Burn it Up!)

3.) Our Experienced Faculty 

 

We keep class sizes small so your camper can receive individual attention from our experienced faculty. Our experienced Oakland Catholic and Central Catholic faculty, with years of experience and incredible passion for their subject area, will excite and engage your camper in hands-on projects that will build knowledge and high-level skills while having fun. Current Oakland Catholic and Central Catholic students will also serve as teachers’ aides and mentors.
