This summer, Self Development Preschool wants to help students rediscover fun unplugged from gadgets and touch screens.
Join us unplugged this summer as we venture through recyclable materials to make extraordinary crafts, gifts and more. We will explore life unplugged every Monday through Wednesday morning in our core curriculum, art and imagination centers. We will rotate from these centers to our math, science labs and literature camps.
Every day at Self Development Summer Camp promises to be full of fun and new experiences. Monday and Wednesday afternoons are Physical Fitness Games and Activities. We will get our bodies, minds and social skills healthy through a variety of group and team activities. We also will test our strength and flexibility through tae-bo and yoga. As we near the end of the summer, we also will prepare for our annual talent show.
Thursday morning is our Jewelry Creation Club, which is a favorite of all our students in the past—boys and girls. Jewelry Creation Club is full of awesome ways to create necklaces, bracelets, rings and more. Our students love to wear and show off their new jewelry, as well as gift them to family and friends.
Friday mornings at Self Development Summer Camp are always Fun Fridays. This can mean a variety of different wacky things to wear or do, to win our Fun Friday Contest. Our students get excited to participate in Crazy Hair Day, get wet and wild on Water Days, or get all dressed up for Movie Star Day. No matter the theme, we love Fun Fridays.
One of our students’ most unforgettable courses in the past has been our comprehensive art class—Art in Action. Each week, Art in Action builds in difficulty, beginning with basic colors, dimension and angles. We then move on to hand painting watercolor still life and human portraits. The best of these works of art are displayed in the annual talent show, so the students can show off their newly discovered art skills.
As a new addition to our unplugged theme this year, we are excited to introduce Beginners Magic Group. This introduction to magic will be a fun and lighthearted way to learn simple card tricks, disappearing acts and other neat ways to trick and impress everyone you know.
Along with all the exciting clubs and labs we have provided on-site, we also offer many field trips every week for children in first grade and higher. Self Development Summer Camp provides transportation to Harkins Movie Theaters on Mondays, swimming at Fremont Pool Monday through Thursday afternoons for different age groups, and the Mesa Public Library on Thursday mornings.
