Weekly Themes 2023
Week 1: 6/26 - 6/30
Week 1: Oh the Places You’ll Go June 26th-30th
A wondrous beginning to summer, you’ll see. Sneetches, Yottles and Once-lers there’ll be. Stack Yertle-the-Turtle up to the moon, or help the fantastical Singing Thing come up with a tune. While running a zoo with Gerald McGrew, you’ll discover peculiar things you once never knew.
Week 2: 7/3 - 7/7
Week 2: Outlandish Oceans: July 3th-7th
Roughly seventy-one percent of the earth’s surface is covered by our oceans. Needless to say, there is much to learn about our saltwater friends and the habitat they call home. Kidsborough students will dive deep to discuss underwater volcanoes, aquatic animals and ways to travel the endless oceans.
(We are closed 7/4)
Week 3: 7/10 - 7/14
Week 3: Salute your Shorts: July 10th-14th
Prepare for the great outdoors as we leave the bustling city and head for the woods. Students will construct tents, experiment with marshmallows, and create their own campers guide. Make sure to pack your flashlights and restring your fishing poles! Featuring a field trip to our reigning champs Canton for the annual Kidsborough Olympics!
(Field Trip Thursday 7/13, more details coming soon)
Week 4: 7/17 - 7/21
Week 4: Where’s Waldo?: July 17th-21st
One day Waldo is wrangling a rowdy saloon and the next day he’s storming a castle with his marching band buddies. How does he find himself at a gladiator filled colosseum? And why is a clown flying through his cake factory? Campers will sail to far away islands and trek on wild safaris as they look for the one and only Waldo. Featuring a field trip to Houghton Pond in Milton, MA.
(Field Trip to Houghton Pond Thursday 7/20)
Week 5: 7/24 - 7/28
Week 5: Holidays in the Heat: July 24th-28th
Who said you couldn’t carve pumpkins in July or catch a leprechaun on a ninety degree day? Whether in Japan for Omisoka or Bulgaria for Baba Marta, we will be searching near and far for holiday traditions to celebrate in the heat.
Week 6: 7/31 - 8/4
Week 6: Old McDonald: July 31st-August 4th
Old McDonald may have pigs and cows, but he also harvests delicious fruits and creates greenhouse ecosystems. This week children will explore different types of farming, experiment with plants and build their own horse housing barn. We will round out the week with all your favorite pasture pals during a trip to the zoo!
(Field Trip to Southwick Zoo Wednesday 8/2)
Week 7: 8/7 - 8/11
Week 7: Carnival Curiosities: August 7th-11th
Did you know that traveling carnivals in America date back to the 1800’s? Since then, humans all over the world have ridden countless tilt-a-whirls and have tossed millions of rings for prizes. Travel back to 1904 and make “Fairy Floss” (cotton candy), at the St. Louis World’s Fair, and collaborate on creating a Kidsborough carnival; complete with games, food and sideshows.
Week 8: 8/14 - 8/18
Week 8: Color Me Happy: August 14th-18th
Someone once said that colors are the smiles of nature. From a blue poison dart frog to a mouth-puckering yellow lemon, everything in the natural world has color. Join us for a week devoted solely to celebrating ROY G BIV and the science of chromaticity. Featuring a field trip to the Boston Science Museum!
(Field Trip to Boston Science Museum Wednesday 8/16)
Week 9: 8/21 - 8/25 (Medfield and Hopkinton only)
Adventures in Wonderland – August 21st – 25th
Join Aslan and Mr. Tumnus for fantastical adventures of whimsical proportions. After enjoying Turkish Delights in Narnia, students will head to Rivendell to build armor with the elves. Catch lightning in a bottle alongside Percy Jackson and follow the yellow brick road to the mad hatter’s house for a proper tea party.
