Campers will explore the underground mines on a guided tour. But, that’s not all!

Please note the dates of this trip are June 17-21. *This camp pairs perfectly with our Off Campus Adventures Camp | $625

In these courses you will explore personal values, develop an awareness of others, and enhance team-building skills. Whether navigating the water or a trail, visiting Minnesota landmarks, going out into the community or experiencing a week at Wolf Ridge Environmental Learning Center, you’ll challenge yourself daily while learning new skills.

dyed by YOU! Campers will explore the world of color and fabrics as they dye their own fabric and create a top using that fabric. We will stay busy throughout this two-week course by learning more garment construction techniques including facings and setting in sleeves. With the basics under your belt, there is no telling what skills you will take with you and the projects you will continue to create using this lifelong skill! **Please note campers must have previously taken SEW FUN or have sewing experience to take this course.** Session 3 | $375

Theater Production Workshop The Children’s Theatre Company and Breck Summer Programs are teaming up to put on quite the production!

Through a combination of storytelling, creative writing, and theater arts exercises, campers will explore the art of story and set design. Campers will work together to create a script and design a set to put on their very own show. Campers will learn lines, create props and costumes, and bring their production to life to be shared anew with families on the final day of the session for a performance in Breck’s Cargill Theater. Session 3 | $375 NEW! Code Ninjas Game Builders Club

4 The best way for your kids to learn to code is by building 5 games that they love and enjoy playing. This camp is the 6 coolest place for your child to build their very own video game every single day! Their game building skills will progress further each day, and they’ll have a blast every step of the way. Games are made in Scratch®, and all experience levels will have a great time. Our easy-tofollow system, with support and encouragement from our Code Senseis®, will enable kids to learn by building video games. Campers don’t realize they’re learning – just having fun!
