Afternoon Electives

Learning to throw on the pottery wheel

At our international summer camp, afternoon electives are a time to relax and laugh together. Electives are scheduled for 1 hour, on 3 afternoons a week. In one session,  you get to choose 2 different electives. It is your chance to try new things and discover your hidden talents and practice your leadership skills.

• Develop singing skills  and learn songs from the civil rights movement
• Form an international basketball team
• Make a batik cloth
• Learn basic Yoga
