Literacy Lunacy:

Dr. Seuss said it best – “You can find magic wherever you look. Sit back and relax, all you need is a book.” Each day we will visit the authors, books and illustrators that have made a lasting impact. So, sit back and curl up with Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid, or maybe even Shel Silverstein’s Where the Sidewalk Ends.

Stir Up a Storm:

You hear a crack of thunder then witness a flash of light. The sky opens up and suddenly droplets of ice start raining down. What are these phenomena and why do they happen? Spend the week learning about all things weather; historical storms, how it develops, why it is important and just how epic it is.

Animal Kingdom:

Take a walk on the wild side as we wander into the animal kingdoms of the world. Spin webs with arachnids, fly south with the birds, make dens with the mammals, and coast with crustaceans. Don’t forget your microscope! Those pesky protozoa can be quite small. This week includes a field trip to the Franklin Park Zoo.

Kidsborough is closed July 5th

All Systems Go:

Have you ever wondered what the deal is with all that ear wax? Did you know that belly buttons grow special hairs to catch lint? Get ready to investigate the inner workings of the human body, all the way from toenails to tongue prints. Shrink down and saddle up as we go inside our sensational systems.

Game Day:

From Mancala to Monopoly to Mario Brothers, people have played games all through history. Explore all sorts of games – playing a life-size game of Operation, solving a “who dunnit” mystery game, making up our own games and of course, participating in our 2nd Annual Kidsborough Olympics!

Mother Earth:

Our most precious asset and one we know all too little about. Students will learn ways to keep her healthy, what her “lands” look like, and exactly what she’s made of. Relax under the canopies of the Congo then venture through the earth’s liquid outer core during a week of blue planet discovery. This week includes a field trip to the Ecotarium.

Animation Nation:

A week devoted to all things animation – the infamous movies, famed characters and the illustrators behind the drawings. Join Kidsborough as we look at the science behind stop-motion animation, indulge in some Flintstone favorites, and learn just what a Zoetrope is.

I Built That:

Are you fascinated by Rube Goldberg machines? In your spare time do you find yourself creating larger than life domino chains or legendary Lego statues? If so, you are just the architectural engineer we’re looking for! Lace up your work boots, grab your hardhat, and begin your build.

Dive Deep:

Sink past the Twilight Zone and into the Abyss as we dive deep into our world’s oceans. From the colorful corals of the Pacific to the hair-raising sharks of the Atlantic, Kidsborough will take you on a journey through the wildest marine habitats. Grab your jellyfish net, equalize your ears and fasten your fins for a week of aquatic exploration. This week includes a field trip to the Hopkinton State Park.

Road Trip U.S.A:

From the East Coast to the West, Kidsborough is packing up the RV for a one of a kind road trip. Spend some time with the Cabazon dinosaurs in Cali while chomping on a Chicago style pizza. If aliens are your thing, take a peek at the UFO welcome center in South Carolina before a night of stargazing at one of our National Parks. Whatever your interests are; this voyage has a little bit of everything!
