WHY SUMMER QUEST CAMPS?

Welcome to our 46th year of offering summer programs to the community. With more than 175 camps, starting in June and extending through the end of August, we are sure to provide the fun and engaging camp experience you and your child are seeking. Our beautiful campuses provide an ideal setting for your child to be comfortable, while also pushing the boundaries of their abilities. Over our 40 years, our offerings have changed with the needs of our community; however, our emphasis on quality and offering the best possible summer camp experience has remained unchanged.

• Collegiate Summer Quest offers more than 175 different programs for preschoolers through adults. For the past 14 years, over 50% of Summer Quest campers have been non-Collegiate students.

MANY CAMPS FILL TO THEIR MAXIMUM ENROLLMENT. REGISTER EARLY TO RESERVE YOUR SPACE. The Summer Quest Office is located in Luck Hall, on the Lower School Campus. Summer Quest office hours are 8 a.m – 3 p.m., Monday-Friday. Collegiate School will be closed on Wednesday, July 4.

We also offer programs at the Collegiate School Aquatics Center. • Our campuses are easily accessed from anywhere in Richmond. See Page 60 for directions.

Shannon Dowling, Juicebox Architects Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders June 18 – 22 • 9 a.m – 12 p.m. $215 • Bring a healthy snack and filled water bottle from home each day. Building is fun, tangible and part of our everyday experience. Juicebox Architects teaches kids about the built environment by exploring art, social studies, language arts, history, science and math through hands-on activities designed to encourage creative, outsidethe-box thinking. Architecture helps with visual learning, observation, reasoning and critical thinking. The camp will engage children physically and mentally as they use their imaginations and become designers for a week. We will design floor plans and build a miniature neighborhood, take a look at structural concepts by creating toothpick bridges, and engage in discussions about scale, foundation, loads and aesthetics by designing skyscrapers that scale the walls of our School. Campers will learn about structures using our own bodies as support columns, we will make our own stools that can hold our parents and we will even build a geodesic dome that campers can occupy. We will work as individuals and in groups to look at real-life problems and simplified versions of what architects do each day. This camp is ideal for children who like to create, draw and build – children who aren’t afraid to be original, take risks, explore new ideas and even get a little messy! Shannon Dowling has both a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in architecture. She has worked on everything from schools to libraries to home additions. She studied design and practiced architecture, not only in her hometown of Richmond, but also in New York and Los Angeles. Her work has been included in a number of exhibits, including the Biennale in Venice and at the Dia Center for the Arts in Manhattan. She has three young children of her own and loves building young creative minds as much as she loves architecture.

WOODWORKING FOR LOWER SCHOOLERS Rising 1st – Rising 4th Graders June 18 – 22 • 1 – 3 p.m. $185 • Projects and activities will be adjusted for the grade level of participants. This camp allows your child to be immersed in the world of fine woodworking through the safe use of bronze planes, straight and curved chisels, specialty saws and measuring/marking tools. Woodworking at Collegiate identifies naturally as craft, but it also provides opportunities for individual artistic expression. Prior skills of arithmetic and language are summoned, and the emphasis is on developing a plan and executing it to conclusion. Each camper is given his or her own set of materials and tools, and each will not only create four to five individual projects to take home, but will also work with other students to create a separate class piece of woodwork. The process will mimic an 18th-century master/ apprentice model whereby an adult craftsman would literally work alongside a child – designing, cutting, shaping and fitting assorted components into a final product. Let your child come make some noise with a mallet and cut some long wood shavings on the way to a beautiful result. For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

Global Village camp has been in operation since 2003. For more information, contact Melanie Marks at marksmb@longwood.edu.

OUR WORLD IS A GLOBAL VILLAGE Melanie Marks, Ph.D. Rising 2nd – Rising 6th Graders July 16 – 20 • 9 a.m – 5 p.m. $425 • Bring a lunch and filled water bottle from home each day. Explore the world with globe trekker Melanie Marks of Longwood University. Campers will “travel” to Africa, Europe, Asia and Central America to learn about the global village in which we all live. Campers will explore both the developed and developing world, learning how daily life and culture in other nations compares and contrasts with their own. Be assured that every day of camp will be action-packed, educational and a great deal of fun. Child-friendly videos are used to paint a picture for young learners about what life is like in the travel destinations, with daily activities that include international-themed cooking, arts and crafts, games, children’s literature selections and outdoor play so that campers can enjoy the summer weather. For example, imagine making your own butter for an English tea party (and speaking with an English accent), creating a s’mores factory with chocolate made from African cocoa beans, barter trading like they do in a Burmese hill tribe, carrying buckets on your head like they do in Guatemala, completing the “water challenge” to address water scarcity like they have in rural Uganda, making fruit kabobs like you could be served in the forests of Zimbabwe, professionally tie-dying shirts using bright African colors, learning how to use chopsticks (and then using them in fun relays), dressing the counselors in rice hats and interesting clothing from Southeast Asia for a fashion show, using Chinese fortune tellers to learn about your future and cooking delicious international foods such as dumplings, egg rolls, fried rice, tortillas and tamales. There are simply too many things to list. An economic system runs through the week in which campers can earn “Global Geld,” the camp currency. The geld can be spent in the international market on the last day of camp.

ACADEMICS

UPPER SCHOOL Rising 9th – Rising 12th Graders

Upper School classes completed by Collegiate Middle School students may be taken for advancement, but will not be credited toward graduation requirements or used in the calculation of a student’s GPA. However, these courses will be recorded on the student’s transcript. All classes meet Monday through Friday, unless otherwise noted. Though the pacing will differ, course content and academic demands remain consistent with the semester-long versions of these electives. Students will earn the same ½ credit they would have earned for taking the course in the fall or spring. These courses are also open to non-Collegiate students seeking summer enrichment opportunities. A student who misses two or more classes in a four-week Summer Quest academic course typically may not receive academic credit for that course.

In some ways the class will resemble the prototypical English class: you will read, discuss and write about the material you have read. On the other hand, the vast majority of work you produce will be creative rather than critical. By course’s end, you will have written three strong stories and a compelling novella (several chapters in length). This work – presented in an “anthology” along with some of your favorite pieces by your peers – will serve as a testament to your originality and diligence as a fiction writer and editor. Dr. Bart Thornton chaired the English department for seven years at Collegiate School, where he now serves as dean of faculty. He teaches American literature, Russian literature, Postmodernism and an interdisciplinary course called Anarchy and the Avant-Garde. Previously, he taught at independent schools in Houston and Chicago. In addition to holding a doctorate in English from the University of Texas at Austin, he writes novels and screenplays. Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an Aaverage or better in their last two semesters of English – may take this elective for Honors credit. However, this will require additional, independent reading and writing. For more information, contact Bart Thornton at bthornton@collegiate-va.org.

Texts will include poetry, fiction, non-fiction and graphic media, including work from Anthony Swofford, Kevin Powers, Erich Maria Remarque, Garry Trudeau and military blogs written directly from the field. The graphic nature of the subject matter will require a serious and thoughtful approach to a topic that has been a persistent presence in society. Vlastik Svab has taught Upper School English at Collegiate for 11 years. Previously, he taught honors and AP English at Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans. Along with teaching English 9 and juniorsenior electives, he is also the senior speech program coordinator and an advisor for Collegiate’s online student newspaper, The Match.

Laughter is how we express the anxiety we feel at this knowledge.” Satire comes in many forms: printed word, image and modern visual media. Scholars, journalists and artists have been mocking social norms and human folly since ancient Greece, and this course will continue the tradition of recognizing the hypocrisies and vices of human society.

These workouts are designed to maintain an elevated heart rate to extend the benefits of strength training and endurance building. We focus on proper movement and technique to ensure maximum benefit. Instead of relying on a series of machines to get you through a workout, you learn to rely on your own body and your own strength to propel you towards breakthroughs you never thought possible. Every day is different. There are always new challenges to take on and new goals to strive for. It’s time to stop making excuses and take a step toward being in the best shape of your life. Hurry! Space is limited to the first 25 eager participants! For more information, contact Will O’Brien at wobrien@collegiate-va.org.

“And take upon us the mystery of things as if we were God’s spies...” – Shakespeare, King Lear The objective of this course is two-fold: 1) To introduce students to the academic study of religion and 2) To survey various topics within the historical, literary and philosophical traditions of the world’s major religions. We will begin by asking some fundamental questions. What is the meaning of religion? What does it mean to be human? What is the relationship between consciousness and religion? Are human beings as human beings necessarily religious beings? In other words, we will consider the possibility that religion is a universal phenomenon – perhaps even a necessary one – in human life. Then, in attempting to survey some of the Bible and some parts of the world’s major religious traditions, we will give some attention to historical and cultural settings, but we will also emphasize the reading of sacred texts and other critical primary source material in order to grasp something of their insight into the basic religious questions. It is hoped that each student will attain an objective yet sympathetic understanding and appreciation of religion and its role in human affairs. Brian Justice began teaching in 1992 and he has taught religion and history at Collegiate School since 1996. He has taught and coached with Summer Quest since 1996. Courtney Schweickart has taught at Collegiate since 2015 and this is her 10th year as a teacher. For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

REGISTRATION, PAYMENT AND REFUND INFORMATION

HEALTH AND SAFETY • A registered nurse and a certified athletic trainer are members of our Summer Quest staff.

• Summer Quest welcomes all families interested in our programs; however, we recognize that some children require more support than we are able to provide. For that reason, we reserve the right after enrollment to recommend that your child be removed from a program should we not be able to provide the required resources. If that is the case, a full refund will be issued. We encourage you to contact the Summer Quest office at 804.741.9714 to discuss your child’s individual needs prior to registration.

• The medical information on the registration form must be completed to attend Summer Quest. • Participants are expected to wear shoes at all times while on campus unless instructed otherwise by a teacher or a coach. • The pools are supervised at all times by a lifeguard, camp teachers and counselors.

• To register, each participant must complete or update their registration information online (or complete and mail a registration form) and pay a non-refundable deposit of $50 per program, prior to May 1, to ensure enrollment. Payments may be made by credit card online or by submitting a check (made out to ‘Collegiate School Summer Quest’) with registration form. Registrations submitted after May 1 must include tuition paid in full.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND QUOTATIONS • Summer Quest has the right to use photographs or quotations of Summer Quest participants for future brochures, advertisements and other Summer Quest marketing purposes, unless otherwise noted on the registration form by the parent/guardian.

• Tuition balance must be paid in full by May 1 to continue to reserve each participant’s place. If full payment is not received by May 1, the space may be given to the next person on the waiting list. • After registering for programs, any future changes in registration must be made in writing (via email or written note) and submitted to the Summer Quest office. • The $50 per program deposit is non-refundable. However, if a participant changes his or her registration, the remainder of the tuition (less the $50 non-refundable deposit per camp) can be used as a credit towards another Summer Quest 2018 program. The credit cannot be transferred to future summer programs. • All programs are subject to maximum and minimum enrollments. Under-enrolled programs may be cancelled. • Participants are enrolled in the order in which their registrations are received. You will be notified if the program you have registered for is full. • Tuition is not refunded or pro-rated for part-time attendance, including situations such as a participant’s dismissal because of a disciplinary action. • Campers will not be permitted to attend a Summer Quest program if there is an outstanding balance.
