Academic Summer Camps 2024

On your mark, get set, BAKE! Whoever thought that the Great British Baking Show would come to Roncalli High School? Campers will feel as if they are right on the set in England! During this camp, baker and entrepreneur Abigail Snyder will be working with the campers on how to work in teams and we will spend time baking, decorating, plating, and of course eating some of our delicious creations! The first half of the week will focus on cookies and the second half on cupcakes. Campers will be able to assemble, package, and bring home their sweet treats and new recipes each day to share with loved ones. Friday will culminate all that they have learned into one fun, final “bake-off” complete with guest judges. It is sure to be an amazingly sweet time!

Are you interested in learning how to code? Join us for Coding Camp this summer! We’ll work on coding projects in Scratch (https://scratch.mit.edu/). While it’s not required for your child to have an account through Scratch, they will not be able to save any of their projects unless they have one. If you would like to sign them up prior to the camp, please either send the login information with them or make it something easy for them to remember so they can sign in on their own.

Rising middle school campers will compose, revise, collaborate, and share original writing. The week will focus on generating creative writing pieces, improve word choice and other writing skills, and giving and getting feedback on drafts. The camp will use a variety of methods to prompt campers’ creativity including pictures, story starters, poems, nature walks, and more!

During this 4-day camp, students will explore their own unique leadership potential! Based on the Kouzes and Posner ‘Student Leadership Challenge’ book, this camp is designed to help students identify their personal strengths and understand how they can leverage those talents to activate their leadership style. Students will complete personality tests, work in small groups to complete leadership challenges, and examine the keys to effective communication.
