Girls in Charge

For Rising 4th and 5th Grade Students
Week 1 Tuition: $975 
Week 2 Tuition: $780
Week 3 Tuition: $975

We offer week-long thematic programs rooted in creative play and exploration. Students will dive into a variety of imaginative projects culminating in a celebration and showcase of student work. Counselor-led activities will be held during breaks and lunch to create space for new friendships and fun.
 
Week One: Artists Week (June 9 - 13)
The first week of Archer Summer will celebrate the artist in each of us. Using inspiration from a diverse group of artists from around the world, we’ll create art using a variety of mediums, from drawing and painting to photography, sculpture, and mixed media! This week will focus on your creative voice and finding your own style. 
 
Week Two: Fantasy & Reality (June 16 - 20; No Archer Summer on 6/19)
Let's celebrate the storytellers in all of us. We’ll choose some of our favorite stories, pick them apart, and remix them into an entirely new story of fact and fiction, fantasy and reality! We’ll bring our new story to life, creating giant sets, costumes, and installation art, resulting in a walk- (or crawl-, or jump-, or skip-) through adventure. Get ready to paint, sew, build, imagine, and collaborate to create an epic smashed-up tale of wonder!
 
Week Three: Glow World (June 23 - 27)
In our third and final week of Girls in Charge, we will explore the phenomenon of all things "glow-in the dark" as we build Glow World, a whimsical collaboration of the Girls in Charge students. Students will incorporate neon paint, neon materials, various forms of twinkling lights, and more to create an interactive world of installations that will come alive under black light. This week will be a messy week of construction as you use your imagination to create a magnificent glowing world full of dazzling sights and sounds!
