A program of Invent Now , Inc.

www.campinvention.org
Invent Now is excited to announce that
the Camp Invention SPARK program —
featuring all new activities — is returning
to area schools this summer.
This exciting, weeklong adventure in
creativity immerses children in imagina-
tive play that reinforces and supplements
school-year learning in the subjects of sci-
ence, technology, engineering, and math
(STEM), as well as history and the arts.
Children work together to seek innovative
solutions to real-world problems and
sharpen critical 21st century learning
skills such as teamwork and creative prob-
lem solving as they rotate through five
modules each day that disguise learning as
fun.
The Spark program features W!LD:
Wondrous Innovations and Living
Designs™, where children venture on a
W!LD animal excursion to investigate the
most innovative survival traits on the
planet; Curious Cypher Camp™, where
children build a camphouse, decipher
puzzling codes, and work together to solve
a mystery; and Bounce! An Atomic
Journey™ module, children bounce their
way through atoms, molecules, mixtures,
and compounds to discover the science
behind bouncy balls. Children use nontra-
ditional equipment (such as water bal-
loons) to add their own twists to classic
games in the Game On: Power Play™ mod-
ule. Finally, a participant favorite, chil-
dren are introduced to tool safety as they
disassemble a discarded household appli-
ance and use its pieces and parts to invent
a working, multi-step machine in the I Can
Invent: Edison’s Workshop™ module.
Local educators will serve as program
teachers, and enthusiastic high school and
college students will serve as program
counselors.
Every registration includes a free

Studio J Academy of Dance makes it a

area dance enthusiasts. In fact, the studio
considers ballet the foundation for all
other dance forms.
The Beachwood-based studio has been
in business for 10 years and teaches clas- 26th ANNUAL
sical ballet, pointe, jazz, lyrical, hip hop
and contemporary for students ages three
through adult.
Its early childhood program gives June 13 - August 5
young dancers ages 3-9, the understand-
ing of proper technique and an apprecia-
tion for the art of dance in an enjoyable,
relaxed atmosphere. Beginning at age 9,
however, students can be recommended
into the studio’s pre-professional program,
in which dancers are encouraged to devel-
op their imagination, minds and bodies.
Studio J also teaches the Cecchetti
Ballet Method and creates opportunities
for students to get examined by Cecchetti
professionals from across the country.
These accredited examinations are both
physical and vocal as dancers must ver-
bally explain how the ballet is done than
perform it. The dancers aim to pass a
sequence of grade levels and receive a cer-
tificate, which may be used in their col-
lege applications.

Give your horse lover the summer of their dreams with
Scenic Run Equestrian Center’s “Summer Equestrian and
Arts Adventure.” Camp sessions begin the week of June
13, and continue through the week of Aug. 8. Each week
we accept a maximum of 12 children from ages 7 to 14.
Each day of camp includes riding instruction, horse-
manship, equestrian related art projects and outdoor
activities.
The horse portion of the day includes riding lessons
and games with an experienced professional riding
instructor. We also have fun and educational hands-on
activities focusing on horse care, equipment, feeding,
grooming and safety. All activities will captivate the
minds of all levels of riders, from beginner to advanced.
Beginners will have the opportunity to receive a solid
foundation in horse care and riding. The more advanced
riders will be challenged with more in-depth horse-relat-
ed activities.
We also will have a professional artist on staff to assist
campers with various art activities and horse-related art
projects. Outdoor activities range fishing to nature hikes
to trail rides.
The property was previously the home of Red Wing
Day Camp, so it lends itself perfectly to our Summer
Equestrian and Arts Adventure. The original “Lodge” is
used for lunch, arts, crafts and games.
Our goal is to develop not only the equine skills of
each participant, but to also teach responsibility, sports-
manship, and teamwork. With our attention to detail and
small student-to-instructor ratio, we can give your child a
safe, educational, and fun summer with horses. Our pro-

Cooking is cool at the Viking Cooking School! Young

especially for them. If your child is gastronomically
inclined and looking for a fun, creative outlet in which to
expand their cooking skills, then join us for our summer
classes. In addition to learning age-appropriate cooking
skills, kids and teens will develop important life skills
such as working as a team, kitchen safety and sanitation,
nutrition, applying math and science skills to cooking,
measuring mixing and whisking and developing creativi-
ty through cooking. Open up a whole new world for your
child as they pursue their passion for cooking under the
guidance of our skilled cooking school instructors.
Kids classes are for ages 7 to 11 and are 2 hours in
length. Teen classes are for ages 12 to 15 and 2-1/2 hours
in length.
This year, we are changing the format to allow children
to take individual classes without having to commit to a
