WHY SUMMER QUEST CAMPS?

In this, our 48th year of offering summer programs to the community, we are again proud to offer more than 175 camps including our new Top Chef and Future Counselors and Leaders classes. With literally something for everyone, our camps start in June and extend through the end of August. Our goal is to provide each child with a fun and engaging camp experience where our campers are comfortable, yet push the boundaries of their abilities. Our emphasis on quality combined with our beautiful campuses, provides for a camp experience your child will cherish forever. 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 Friday, July 3.

• Summer Quest offers all-day options every week, through the month of August, so campers have the opportunity to spend the entire day at Collegiate Summer Quest, all summer long. • Collegiate Summer Quest offers more than 175 different programs for preschoolers through adults. For the past 16 years, more than 50% of Summer Quest campers have been non-Collegiate students. • Our camper-to-staff ratios ensure that our participants are getting individualized attention. • The majority of our camps have been developed and are led by Collegiate faculty and staff. • Summer Quest has enrolled more than 1,300 campers each of the past 18 years with record enrollment as high as nearly 1,600 campers! • Along with our expanded and innovative Mooreland Road campus, including our new ropes course, Collegiate School’s Robins Campus has state-of-the-art athletic fields and facilities. We also offer programs at the Collegiate School Aquatics Center. • Our campuses are easily accessed from anywhere in Richmond. See Page 60 for directions.

Our students experience this kind of excitment all year long.

Come for a visit and continue the fun!

MINDFULNESS AND MORE Emma Harrison Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders July 20 – 24 • 1 – 4 p.m. $215 • Bring a filled water bottle, healthy snack and a thin towel to camp each day. Mindfulness is becoming a buzz word in the education community. But what exactly is it? Mindfulness means maintaining a focused awareness of our thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations and surrounding environments. Mindfulness programs are becoming popular in classrooms nationwide as they have been proven to relieve stress, anxiety, emotional stability and impulsivity. Not surprisingly, this intense awareness of self has proven to have a positive impact on academics. The goal of this camp is to provide campers with tools to deal with negative or anxious thoughts, build self-confidence, increase focus and regulate emotions. The practice of mindfulness begins with developing an understanding of the brain. Students will learn about the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, and how practicing mindfulness has a positive impact on our brain and overall well-being. They will learn how to develop a present self-awareness through daily mindful meditation and breathing exercises. Each day, campers will participate in a craft to create different mindful tools, such as “brain jars,” worry stones and stress balls. They will partake in mindful art, writing, listening and cooperative group activities. This camp is designed to give students tools and techniques to become more present in everyday situations, whether it’s in the classroom, on the field or in an anxietyinducing environment. Emma Harrison is a 4th Grade teacher at Collegiate School. She has been trained in Mindful Educator Fundamentals through the Mindful Schools Organization. Emma has enjoyed implementing mindfulness in her classroom the past two school years and looks forward to continuing the practice with the Mindfulness Camp!

Some days, things just don’t go your way like when you go to post a selfie and get transported into another dimension, or when you discover your baby sister is not actually teething, but is a brain-hungry zombie. Then there’s that annoying problem of trying to keep your superpowers on the down-low. We get it. It’s hard being you. Join us as we do a little story swapping about the perils of being unusual. Does your aunt Edith remind you of a talking pelican? Do you absentmindedly draw mountains on everything? Do your memories of that trip to Florida bring to mind images of being stranded on a deserted island? All of the true stories that make up our lives are rich material from which to create bigger, brighter, crazier ideas, sometimes with magic involved. In Down the Rabbit Hole, we’ll be digging deep to turn memories and thoughts about real life into wild, uncharted fictional territory.

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. For credit classes, 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.

Non-Credit Courses

This course will be presented by the Collegiate College Counseling staff: Kim Ball, Erin Breese, Andrew Reich and Brian Leipheimer. For more information, contact Brian Leipheimer at bleipheimer@collegiate-va.org.

Collegiate College Counseling Rising 12th Graders at Collegiate Session I: June 8 – 12 • 9 – 11:30 a.m. Session II: Aug. 3 – 7 • 9 – 11:30 a.m. Session III: Aug. 3 – 7 • 1 – 3:30 p.m. $215 per session Are you looking to reduce anxiety over organizing your college application process? How about tackling the applications themselves and their essays, or communicating your “demonstrated interest” – whether by phone, email or interview settings? Collegiate’s college counselors take care during the junior and senior years to prepare you well for these tasks, including the summer assignment of a completed application draft, but this “hit the ground running” seminar offers you the structure and time on task for an intensive jump-start. Primary topics include: researching and organizing applications, completing online applications, crafting essays, communication 101 (including interviews), essay feedback and fine-tuning lists. You’ll walk away with a personalized notebook for organization, tasks underway or under your belt and great advice. And, your college counselors are uniquely poised to offer that advice – together, they have more than 60 years of experience in college counseling and admission, and they’ve evaluated more than 30,000 applications as admission officers in highly selective institutions from across the country, including Gettysburg College, Johns Hopkins University, New York University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and University of Vermont. The newly-added June session offers ideal timing for students who are ready to dive in, while the August sessions may be a better fit for students who will benefit from more time before fully engaging. Readiness aside, the content and approach will be the same for each session. In order to maximize individual attention, each session will be capped at 46 students.

ENGLISH CLASSES While a student may take more than one ½-credit English elective during the summer session, only one per year may be substituted for an academic-year semester course. Regardless of summer elective work, every Collegiate student must take at least one English course at Collegiate School during their junior and senior years.

FICTION WORKSHOP Bart Thornton, Ph.D. Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders Session I: June 8 – July 2 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Session II: July 6 – 31 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Friday, July 3 $1,095 per session In Fiction Workshop, students will be introduced to a range of strategies and styles for writing creative contemporary fiction. We will read several short stories and a novel; we will also screen several TV shows and films, examining the “tricks of the trade” for writers working in these visual media. Students will have the opportunity to “pitch,” write, share and revise a substantive original novella, series of stories, screenplay or teleplay. Along the way, you’ll be introduced to a trivia competition-meets-improvisational game that helps to generate ideas. If you’re interested in creative expression and mass media, this could be a delightful way to spend part of your summer. 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.

Leah Angell, Ph.D. Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders June 8 – July 2 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. No class on Friday, July 3 Monday – Friday $1,095 In Rhetoric and Composition, students examine the art of writing persuasively and the art of composing a piece of writing. Units of study include but are not limited to the following topics: Audience Awareness, Critical Thinking, Literary Style, Description, Narrative, Classification, Process Analysis, Definition, Cause and Effect, and Argument. Study of these subjects revolves around readings from Thomas Cooley’s The Norton Sampler: Short Essays for Composition but also includes other selected opinion pieces, essays and articles. In preparation for future English courses at Collegiate and in college, Rhetoric and Composition further develops students’ writing, revising and researching skills; strengthens students’ skills in careful and critical reading; and introduces students to college composition coursework. In this class, students write frequently, both formally and informally, on topics of their choice. Writing assignments are graded and ungraded and are completed both in and out of class. Students write private journal responses, short experimental pieces, first-person reflections and formal essays. The class focuses heavily on the process of writing and on the importance of revising; therefore, students revise their work throughout the course. Students taking the course for Honors choose from a range of projects to complete an additional six- to eight-page paper. Leah Angell teaches 9th Grade English and junior-senior English electives such as Rhetoric and Composition, and Sacred Texts as Literature at Collegiate School. She is also the departmental curriculum coordinator for Community Engagement Week, a 9th Grade service-learning program. Dr. Angell previously taught at the University of Richmond, Union Presbyterian Seminary, the University of Virginia and the Peddie School. She also served as the Manager of Museum Educational Programs at the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. Her work has been published in Dapim: Studies on the Holocaust, a journal of the University of Haifa. 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. This will, however, require additional, independent reading and writing. For more information, contact Dr. Leah Angell at leah_angell@collegiate-va.org.

LITERATURE OF CONFLICT Vlastik Svab Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders July 6 – 31 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Monday – Friday $1,095 The last 17 years of U.S. involvement in conflicts around the globe have fundamentally changed our perspectives of war and those who fight it. At this pivotal juncture in American history, we should explore the literature that has been written about conflict and its effects on those in the battle and beyond. We will read depictions of and reactions to warfare, ranging from the Trojan War to our most recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Texts will include poetry, fiction, nonfiction and graphic media, including work from Kurt Vonnegut, 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 12 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. Qualified Collegiate students – those who have earned an A- average 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 Vlastik Svab at vsvab@collegiate-va.org.

Vlastik Svab Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders June 8 – July 2 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Friday, July 3 $1,095 Comedian Lewis Black describes fundamentalism as “the inability to laugh at yourself.” Dave Barry defines a sense of humor as “a measurement of the extent to which we realize that we are trapped in a world almost totally devoid of reason. 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. Notable satirists, including Jonathan Swift, Mark Twain, Edith Wharton, Aristophanes, David Sedaris and Joseph Heller, are just a few of the masters of wit and acerbic sarcasm that are both smarter and funnier than you. Vlastik Svab has taught Upper School English at Collegiate for 12 years. Previously, he taught honors and AP English at Mount Carmel Academy in New Orleans, Louisiana. Along with teaching English 9 and junior-senior electives, he is also the senior speech program coordinator and an advisor for Collegiate’s online student newspaper, The Match. 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. This will, however, require additional, independent reading and writing. For more information, contact Vlastik Svab at vsvab@collegiate-va.org.

All Collegiate students must complete Health and Wellness I and Health and Wellness II, each ½ credit. A student may take both sections of Health and Wellness II (Driver’s Education and Fitness and Nutrition) during the summer. This will allow for flexibility in the student’s schedule during the school year.

DRIVER’S EDUCATION – CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 8 – 19 • 8:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. Monday – Friday $325 Classroom instruction is a key part of securing a driver’s license. Taking this class in the summer frees up time in the fall or spring for other pursuits. This Driver’s Education course completes the classroom requirement needed by a student to obtain a driver’s permit in Virginia. For more information, contact the Summer Quest Office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

FITNESS AND NUTRITION Rising 9th – Rising 12th Graders June 8 – 19 • 1 – 3 p.m. Monday – Friday $245 This is a required course for Upper School Collegiate students to meet the requirement for one-half of Health and Wellness II. Taking this class in the summer frees up time in the fall or spring for other pursuits. This two-week, ¼-credit summer course will cover various aspects of nutrition and fitness. Students will study nutrition related to current events, how nutrition relates directly to health, the nutrition tools that are available on a daily basis and how the digestive and immune systems work. We will also examine the main food nutrients such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. Participants will be able to plan a healthy diet and explain how food and fitness relate directly to energy and a healthy body. For more information, contact the Summer Quest Office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS I Annie Richards, Lindsay Bradley, Jason Engle, Molly McDonald Rising 9th Graders June 8 – 19 • 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Monday – Friday $570 This course is required of all 9th Graders and includes units on Human Sexuality, Substance Use/Abuse, Certification in CPR and Community First Aid, and Mindfulness. No absences are permitted in this two-week class. For more information, contact Annie Richards at arichards@collegiate-va.org. 54


HISTORY CLASS WORLD RELIGIONS Brian Justice Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 22 – July 17 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Friday, July 3 $1,095 per session “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.
