pds summer adventures 2010

Have we got a summer for you!

PDS Summer Adventures happily

invites you to join us as we debut

for summer use our new state of the

art facilities. A climbing wall, ropes

course, additional gymnasium, a multi-

purpose field to add to our football field,

multiple playgrounds, and an extraordinary EC

building help us extend and expand our offerings.

In addition, joining me this year are two respected

colleagues, Ross Spain and Alice Parker. Ross is

our Dean of Students. He has put together an

ambitious, fun-filled program of sports and day

camps that will provide your child with exercise and

memories that will last a lifetime. Alice, reading

specialist and tutor extraordinaire, will direct

our new tutoring center. Whether your child needs

one-on-one tutoring in a particular subject or

just wants a leg up for the coming year, we have

a place for him or her. I welcome Ross’ and Alice’s

experience and expertise in their respective fields.

Enrichment? We haven’t forgotten the part that

enrichment camps and classes play in summer. Your

child can practice Taekwondo, learn Yoga, catch

up on summer reading, create art, play the guitar,

prepare French food, and invest time in technology,

just to name a few. We at PDS are excited about our

Summer Adventures and hope that you can be here!

Admission is granted to qualifi ed students

in the order in which registration forms with payment are received. Registration is ongoing until the fi rst day of class. However, if one week prior to the fi rst day of camp or class, registration for the activity is deemed to be insuffi cient, that class will be cancelled.

It is expected that every student attending PDS Summer Adventures

follow school procedures and standards of behavior. Consideration of others in thought and action is expected. PDS reserves the right to require the withdrawal of any student who poses a discipline problem or a disruption to the learning process.

A Confi rmation will be

e-mailed to the address listed on the registration form and will show the balance due before the fi rst day of camp or class.

PDS reserves the right

to cancel classes if necessary. If a class is cancelled, all fees will be refunded. In such an event, refund checks will be issued by the Business Offi ce and mailed to the address listed on the registration form.

INSTRUCTORINSTRUCTORClaymation is the art of making clay

figures come to life. Groups will

make figures and props from clay and

then use them to tell a story and

create a claymation movie.

We will take a series of still photos

with a digital camera, use iMovie to

import our photos, and then produce

our movie. Campers will take home

their final project on a CD to share

with friends and family. We will also

have a movie viewing the last day of

camp to show our work.

We’ll teach you to display health, lives, score and splash tables. At the end of the class you will take

home a CD with both your game and the software. This

class goes into greater depth and is a different type of

game from our regular after-school enrichment class.
