General Camp Information

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camp is a day camp for children

ages 2+. Our camps are STEM and educational based and led by

trained teachers. GPA summer camps follow a weekly themed cur-

riculum designed to engage campers in educational learning that is

rooted in fun—the basis of summer! In addition to weekly themes,

campers participate in daily and weekly core activities that include

daily reading, mandarin lessons, outdoor fun, STEM activities, soc-

cer, karate and music. All activities are specifically tailored for each

age group so that they are learning age appropriate skills and chal-

lenged.

REGISTRATION

Registration is easy. You can register online at

www.globalpioneeracademy.org and clicking on “summer camps.” or

in person at our offices.

COMMITMENT & FEES

GPA offers flexible summer camp. We ask that you make a minimum

2 week commitment (though weeks do not need to be adjacent). Full

week camp tuition is $325 + $125 registration fee. Partial week (3

days a week) camp is $195. Sibling, friends & family discounts are

offered.

Daily & Weekly Core Activities

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camps are supported by daily and weekly activities

that promote summer learning, mandarin inclusion, reading and STEM (science, technol-

ogy, engineering and mathematics).

Reading

All campers participate in daily, age-appropriate reading activities. For younger readers,

they work with teachers on reading skills and group storytelling. Older campers spend a

minimum of 30 minutes reading daily during quiet time.

STEM Exploration

All campers explore STEM daily in small groups and participate in weekly themes where

they dive into deeper exploration of science, technology, engineering and math. All activ-

ities are designed for age level appropriateness and skill level.

Soccer, Karate, Music

Each week, campers participate in soccer, karate and music lessons led by professionals

in the field. Lessons are age-appropriate and we always provide photos!

Mandarin Lessons

Campers have daily Mandarin lessons and learn age-level appropriate Mandarin speak-

ing skills. From learning to count and their colors, to singing songs and learning to read.

Campers are challenged to grow their Mandarin skills through immersion learning.

Healthy Kids & Healthy Lunch

All lunches are included in camper fees and made in our facility

daily. They are always homemade and healthy….because we

believe healthy food fuels healthy kids.

Weekly Themes & Sample Activities

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camps are designed with weekly themes in mind.

Each week we present a new theme to campers and take them on an adventure with daily activities that are interactive and exploratory. All activities are tailored to the

age of the campers and are designed to be fun—because what is summer if its not fun!

(and a little messy!)

Week one is a shot week for us—and we’re kicking off summer camp doing all the

things summer was invented for: outdoor fun, drive-in-movies and arts & crafts!

Decorate your camp t-shirt! Each camper receives

a camp t-shirt to decorate and show off their creativity

this summer! Campers are encouraged to express

themselves and have fun!

Week 1:

Summer Sampler

Indoor drive in! What’s

summer if you’re not

enjoying a movie with

friends? Campers will enjoy an

indoor drive in movie (age appro-

priate!) with friends and popcorn!

Water FUN! Get wet. Splash. Run. Jump. Campers get to

dive into water fun on Friday (after Karate, of course!)

Click. Snap. Share. Create memories. This week, kids of all ages learn about taking

photos, creating art with their photos and be-

come “in-house” photography pros, creating

images we’ll share with you—our parents!

With the help of a professional photographer,

we’ve created a week of activities that will in-

spire your camper!

Your camper will :

tography and light.

interesting things in nature.

Capture memories from

camp for an online digital

memory book for parents.

Week 2:

Science is fun. It’s cool. It’s critical to our kids ability and learn about the world. Its also really silly. This week, campers will explore science with hands-on ac-

tivities and exploration designed to inspire and foster your child’s natural curiosity about

the world we live. We can’t promise that we won’t send them home in the same clothes

they came in….hey, science can sometimes be messy!

create their own sprout-

house to care for all

summer long.

Week 3:

STEM Week-Mad Science

This week is short as we’ll be

closed to celebrate the 4th of

July with our families!

We’re a community of international educators and we believe that its critical to learn about other cultures. Well spend a week with campers from all

different nationalities learning about different food, dances, art and games from around

Technology is moving faster than we can keep

up somedays and kids are learning earlier than

ever how to use it to learn, explore and create.

Many camps are technology free. We be-lieve its important to inspire a love of technology early. This week, students will explore technolo-

gy that is age appropriate and learn to be

inquisitive thinkers, creators and users of

technology. They’ll have the advantage

when they head back to school in the fall!

we’re committed to healthy homemade snacks and lunches for our campers every day.

We also want our campers to learn how to create healthy snacks for themselves. This week campers will explore cooking safety, learn how to follow

recipes and create healthy snacks both indoors and out. By the time they’re done,
