Registration: 2024 Camp Assistant
Waiting List
The 2024 Camp Assistant positions are full. Please join the waiting list.
Overview
Activate offers full-day camps for upper elementary students. Each week has a different focus. We call this the workshop. This summer’s workshops are Graphic Design, Photography, Animation, Music Production, Printmaking, and Engineering. In the summer of 2024, we are adding an optional 60 minutes of literacy instruction to every morning of camp. We’ll also swim three times a week, play at the local park, and have plenty of time for what we call Free Explore.
The Camp Assistant Program is for incoming 7th and 8th graders. Assistants play with kids and help with projects. Additionally, they go swimming and do most of the projects if they want.

Consistent with other ‘Counselor in Training’ programs, assistants pay tuition.
