If you think it’s too early to think about summer camp- think again. I called one camp 3 weeks ago to register and was told they had been sold out for weeks. So much for us slackers! Don’t despair, there is a Summer Camp Expo this weekend where you can meet directors and you can try out some of the camps.
The International School of Brooklyn moved into to their new large facilities in Carroll Gardens last fall and now has enough space to offer specialty camps. Besides their mainstay French and Spanish immersion camps, they are now offering camps in Capoeira, RoboFun, Yoga, Toy Design and more. (Disclosure: our son attended ISB’s Spanish summer camp last year for 2 weeks and enjoyed it. I would do it again if they hadn’t moved to a location too far for us to walk to now.)
Mini-camps will be doing demos all day so bring your kids to check them out:
Capoeira (10-10:30am)
RoboFun (10am-12pm)
Curious Jane (10am-12pm)
Bija Kids Yoga (11:30am-12pm)
All families attending the EXPO will be entered in a raffle for $100 off of a week of camp. Three $100 prizes awarded!! (One entry per family)
Here are the camps that ISB is offering at their location:
French & Spanish Immersion Camp:
Children enrolled in French & Spanish Summer Camp at the International School of Brooklyn will explore a variety of themes, explore visual and movement arts, music, and science, all in a language-immersion environment. Children with all language levels are welcome. 3-5 yr old groups are conducted in an immersion environment. English may be used occasionally in the 6-8 yr old groups, depending on the language background of the group, in order to make the experience enjoyable and meaningful for all students.
