Curiosity Club 2016: SPACE   

Art + Science Camp for inquisitive kids ages 6-10
at the Prop Thtr : 3502 N. Elston, Chicago, IL
July 11 - 29
Mondays thru Fridays 9:00 - 3:00
The Curiosity Club is a full day summer camp where kids explore art and science. Each day we delve into our theme, this year SPACE, exploring physically, imaginatively and intellectually.

We will play with outer space, inner space, personal space, public space, mental space, cyber space, blank space . . . 

The basic daily schedule begins with meditation and movement, leads to science experiments and research, breaks for lunch, evolves into peer led sharing games, connects to an art project, closes with release and reflection.  The session will culminate in a kid-hosted showing including a science fair, art gallery, and screening of the movies they create.
Workshops are kept small on purpose so the kids have freedom and flexibility to initiate projects. So sign up now!

Full three week session: $675.
