Summer Camps - Saint Ursula Academy, Cincinnati OH

Have you ever wondered…How Does the Universe Work? What star am I viewing? How do you use a telescope? Where is Jupiter in the sky? How does the sun create the equivalent of 100 billion nuclear bombs of energy every second? How about the basics of gravity? Why does the moon go through phases? What’s a black hole? Why does earth experience seasons? Big Bang and more!

Join us for this three-day camp as we simply explore these seemingly complicated questions through interactive demonstrations and discussion. We will learn to find objects in the night sky by looking up and using simple tools. And, with very special filters, we will be able to view the sun (weather permitting).
*You do not need to own a telescope or binoculars. No previous math or science-savvy is needed. Just bring your curiosity! You will walk away from SUA with the knowledge to launch your journey of night viewing.

Do you enjoy mysteries and solving who-done-it-type stories? Have you ever wondered how well you would do at solving cases?  In the FBI-Future Bulldogs Investigate camp, you will get your chance to be a criminal investigator.  Cases might be as simple as who is telling the truth about a fight at school, to whose body is in the trunk found in the basement.  Learn the crime scene science techniques used by real investigators.  Take fingerprints, determine blood types, analyze bones, and put your investigative skills to the test.

This camp will focus on learning to read music and learning notes on the guitar. By the end of the week, students will be playing in ensembles with other guitarists. We will also work on learning chords and playing pop songs. All materials, including the use of a guitar, will be provided for the week.  

The perfect fit for aspiring performers of any level.

The week will be filled with fun warm-ups, improvisation games, and skill development activities to help prepare students for future performing arts classes or auditions. One session is available.
