The Village Gate Summer Program is a 6 Week Program from June 20th - July 29th with individual weekly themes. Each week will consist of several field trips, swimming, team building and outside play with a splash of reading, writing and study skills.
The Themes are:
Week
1: Alive with Music (June 20th - 24th)
Music is a language all its own. It can make us happy and illicit feelings of sadness, we use it to celebrate and to mourn, it is found in churches and National Anthems – Music adds flavor to everything we do!
During the Alive with Music Camp Week, we will explore all types of music, how the same music done at different tempos or by different artists can create a different experience, the basics of music (beat, rhythm, harmony, tempo) and we will create music both with real instruments and with some amazing computer programs. In addition, we will have a couple of local musicians come in to share their stories and visit the Grammy Museum in LA.
On Friday, we will put on a little concert of our week’s work just prior to pick-up. Join us as we bring music Alive!
Week 2: Let the Games Begin (June 27th - July 1st)
Fun and Games is what summer is all about! Mini Golf, Bowling, Kick Ball, Volleyball, Baseball and Chess are just a sampling of the games on tap. Sunshine, Sportsmanship, Encouragement and Excitement make this a session where summer memories are made.
We will visit stadiums, go to parks, the beach and meet athletes from various sports backgrounds. Put your Game Face on and Join in the Fun!!!
Week 3: Footsteps & Fingerprints (July 5th - July 8th)
Let your Super Sleuth Come Alive in this mysterious camp session! 
During Week 3 of our Summer Camp Extravaganza, Our campers will explore all of the exciting skills of being a detective. They will learn about clues, learn how to use the tools of the trade (magnifying glasses, fingerprint kits and observation) and they will even get to solve their very own mystery! We will be bringing in a local detective, visiting a courthouse, exploring a crime lab and will play our own version of I Spy!
Week 4: Express Yourself (July 11th - July 15th)
Art is in the Eye of the Beholder… This will be a fun week of creativity, creating our hands dirty and our imaginations run wild! We will explore various mediums of art - painting, sculpting, ceramics, graffiti, animation, photography and so much more! We will visit an Art Museum and a couple of local galleries along with several art lessons with artists.
Week 5: The Peaceful Project (July 18th - July 22nd)
The Peaceful Project Session will focus on Community Service, Peaceful Conflict Resolution and Seeing Beyond Our Differences. We have many cultures, faiths, beliefs and values but only one world in which to co-exist. Learning to celebrate our commonalities and our differences is what this session is about. Each day we will celebrate as we explore the traditions of our human family, different countries & cultures and do a Community Service Project.
Week 6: The Amazing Race (July 25th - July 29th)
During Amazing Race Week, the children will participate in an off-campus Scavenger Hunt. We will take them to parks and museums. Each day they will team up with a camp counselor in small teams and be given a set of clues to follow. It will be exciting to watch this session unfold! In addition to their “scavenger hunt”, the children will do a variety of races… Potato Sack Races, Obstacle Courses, Spoon & Egg Races! The best part is…. Everyone Wins!!!
