LOWER SCHOOL
Rising Junior Kindergartners – Rising 4th/5th Graders
ACTING, CREATIVE PLAY AND MORE – YOUTH SHAKESPEARE Cynde Liffick, Bard Unbound Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders June 17 – 21 • 1 – 4 p.m. $215 • Bring a filled water bottle from home each day. Start with a phrase and end with performing an entire play. Students will have fun with the language, learn some facts about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan era, get to know the characters and learn a bit about the Bard. The play utilized in this camp is Shakespeare’s comedy, The Taming of the Shrew. There are a lot of questions to be answered in this play including: What is a shrew and what does it have to do with the play? The answers to these questions and many more will be answered throughout the week. Within the process of learning and rehearsing an abbreviated Shakespeare play, students will work on personal and interpersonal skills including focus, compassion, imagination, patience, problemsolving and collaboration. They will also work on basic dramatic skills such as enunciation, focus, cooperation, vocal projection, language skills and acting. Finally, it gives students a leg up for deeper immersion into Shakespeare in the future! Cynde Liffick, co-founder of Richmond Shakespeare Festival at Agecroft Hall, is in her 20th year as a Shakespeare instructor, director and performer. Her present company, Bard Unbound, takes Shakespeare off the page and off the stage through Virginia. For more information, contact Cynde Liffick at cynde@bardunbound.org.
BUILDING IMAGINATIONS – ARCHITECTURE FOR LITTLE HANDS AND BIG MINDS Shannon Dowling, Juicebox Architects Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders June 17 – 21 • 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!

LET’S GET READY FOR JUNIOR KINDERGARTEN
LITTLE YOGIS Erin Rogers, Meagan Justice Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders July 8 – 12 • 1 – 4 p.m. $215 • Bring a filled water bottle, healthy snack and a thin towel to camp each day. • A yoga mat will be provided for each student and they can take it home at the end of the week. Little Yogis camp is designed specifically with the creative and active elementary student in mind. Absolutely no prior experience is necessary! This camp will provide students the opportunity to practice fitness, enhance healthy body awareness and increase strength, flexibility and balance in a fun, non-competitive, artistic environment. Each class is comprised of three parts. During the first segment, students will explore different yoga poses through games, interactive stories and creative movements. Participants will spend the second part of class studying a different mindfulness technique each day. This segment will end with a short period of quiet and stillness during which students will follow guided relaxations and concentrate on breath work. Yogis will spend the final third of their morning as mindful artists, revisiting the day’s physical yoga practice and meditation experiences through different mediums. Little Yogis is the ultimate multisensory experience! Each afternoon, camp participants will come home with yoga “homework” which has two goals. It will, firstly, emphasize and recap the day’s theme (the physical and meditative practices) and secondly, encourage a dialogue about personal reactions and observations from the morning session between little yogis and a family member or friend. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely. Erin Rogers and Meagan Justice have worked Summer Quest yoga camps for years and enjoy teaching the practice to others.

Who wants to get ready for school? This camp has been developed to provide a taste of what Kindergarten will feel like for your child, with a focus on introducing basic reading and math skills. We will use familiar nursery rhymes and fairy tales to introduce the children to many important reading skills, such as identifying familiar letters and sounds, looking at pictures for clues, tracking from left to right, pointing to text and matching our voices to the words we read. Familiar rhymes and stories will help develop your child’s confidence and eagerness to “have a go” at reading! The math content of our camp is based on the book Let’s Play Cards: Games and Activities for Ages 3-100 by Nicola Byford and Frances Coleman. While the campers will think they are just having fun, they will really be strengthening their mathematical abilities: problem-solving skills, number sense, spatial skills, memory and much more. There are so many math skills that can be learned from a deck of cards! We will also be visiting the library, creating art projects, playing at center time and getting to know the Lower School campus. Our camp will culminate in a celebration on the last day, when the children will be encouraged to come to camp dressed as their favorite nursery rhyme or fairy tale character. Parents will be invited to join us for the afternoon to read nursery rhymes and play cards. Each child will take home a book of rhymes and stories, plus a standard deck of cards and a copy of Let’s Play Cards.

MINDFULNESS AND MORE Emma Harrison Rising 3rd – Rising 5th Graders July 22 – 26 • 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. In addition, campers will create “Brain Jars” that they can use when they’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed. They will participate in mindful art, writing, listening and cooperative group activities. This camp is designed to give students tools and techniques to become more mindful in everyday situations, whether it’s in the classroom, on the field or in an anxiety-inducing environment.

Our 2019 Summer STEAM Academy is an exploration of the intersection of science and history through the lens of astronomy. The STEAM Academy is a full-day camp and runs for two weeks, but campers may also register for just the 1st or 2nd week. Campers will receive their own Raspberry Pi to keep. Consider the Big Dipper, Orion the Hunter and other constellations in the night sky. Where and when did their stories originate? Dozens of other cultures from the dawn of time have imagined the night sky differently. We will begin our exploration sharing some of these cultural tales while designing and constructing our own planetarium. Inspired by tales and this construct, students will imagine their own Constellation Stories. Moving on from constellations and starlore we will investigate phenomena such as the wandering of planets against the night time sky, eclipses, the appearance of comets and supernovae (exploding stars!) and how these events have influenced history – Genghis Khan believed Halley’s comet was his personal star and its westward motion across the sky influenced the westward expansion of the Mongol Empire and his invasion of Eastern Europe in 1222. Mark Twain was born in 1835 alongside the comet and predicted he would die with its return in 1910 (and he did!). Where will you and the world be when it returns again in 2061? We will conclude our explorations in the modern era – many of us were saddened when Pluto was demoted from planetary status, but did you know why? Not too long ago we wondered if there were a 10th planet in our solar system and we had no evidence of any solar systems beyond our own. Today, using space based telescopes, computers and mathematics, we are confident that there are more planets in our visible universe than there are grains of sand on all of Earth’s beaches.

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.

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.

FICTION WORKSHOP Bart Thornton, Ph.D. Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders Session I: June 10 – July 5 • 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Session II: July 8 – Aug. 1 • 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Monday – Thursday No class on Thursday, July 4 (Students will meet Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday this week.) $1,095 per session Designed for students who have shown an aptitude for creative writing and thought, Fiction Workshop focuses on contemporary literature and fiction writing. 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. 52

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, non-fiction 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.

RHETORIC AND COMPOSITION Leah Angell Sievers Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders July 8 – Aug. 2 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. 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 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.

Vlastik Svab Rising 11th – Rising 12th Graders June 10 – July 5 • 9 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Thursday, July 4 $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.

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.

HEALTH & WELLNESS CLASSES
“And take upon us the mystery of things as if we were God’s spies...” – Shakespeare, King Lear
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 room in the student’s schedule during the school year.
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. For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.
DRIVER’S EDUCATION – CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 10 – 21 • 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 10 – 21 • 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.

applications. The culminating event will be research projects demonstrating scientific and historical advances. Courtney Schweickart began teaching in 2008 and he has taught history and religion at Collegiate School since 2014. She has taught with Summer Quest since 2015. Daniel Bartels is the STEAM coordinator for the Middle and Upper Schools at Collegiate. He has taught physics and mathematics since 2002 and has developed and mentored FIRST Robotics teams since 2004. Stew Williamson began teaching various science courses in 1997. He has been teaching physics at Collegiate since 2014. For more information, contact the Summer Quest office at summerquest@collegiate-va.org.
While a student may take more than one ½-credit science elective during the summer session, only one per year may be substituted for an academic-year semester course.
EXPEDITIONS: HISTORY THROUGH AN ASTRONOMICAL LENS Courtney Schweickart, Daniel Bartels, Stew Williamson Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 10 – July 5 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Wednesday, July 4 $1,095 per session The human experience on Earth has developed alongside events in the skies above us – some obvious, some not so obvious. There have been spectacular one-time events such as supernovae that have been documented in the historical records of many cultures and civilizations and many more periodic events each differing vastly with each other in terms of their respective periods – the cycle of night and day, the phases of the moon, the seasons, years, the solar cycle, the regular return of comets to name a few. The period of these events range from a day to decades. The regularity of these astronomical events have shaped our civilizations from our folklore to our technologies. In our traditional study of human events and the relationships between them, the orbit of Earth around its star is the implicit measure of the passage of time – the stage on which these human events are played – we mark the year in which events took place. Students will explore the historical and scientific progress through the ages: starting with starlore and early civilizations, progressing through scientific and political revolutions and ending with the modern era. Each unit will be comprised of research and projects that build students understanding through collaboration, conversations and

Leigh Thompson Rising 10th – Rising 12th Graders June 10 – July 5 • 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Monday – Friday No class on Wednesday, July 4 $1,095 per session • Prerequisite: Chemistry or Honors Chemistry How does aspirin work? Are artificial sweeteners bad for you? Is there an efficient way to recycle and reuse plastics? These are a few of the questions you will be considering in this course. Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules. Carbon is unique in that it can form chains and rings with other carbon atoms, and it is essential to life as it forms the backbone of DNA, RNA, sugars, lipids and proteins. This course will cover nomenclature, reactions and organic mechanisms through a variety of modalities including problem-solving, case studies and laboratory investigations. Leigh Thompson is a chemistry teacher in Collegiate’s Upper School. She has over 20 years experience teaching chemistry.

ADULT PROGRAMS KICKSTART FOR ADULTS Will O’Brien Collegiate Sports Performance Coach Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays June 10 – Aug. 2 • 5:30 – 6:30 a.m. *Must have a minimum for class to make. Pricing: 8 workouts = $200 16 workouts = $360 23 workouts = $460 • Each participant will be required to complete a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). KickStart fitness is not your average workout. There are no machines, no boring routines and best of all, there is something for everyone. Our training methods have been proven at the highest levels of competitive sport to improve your physical performance and energize your personal fitness goals and self-confidence. KickStart fitness is changing the face of Sport Performance Training in Richmond. If you’re ready to make breakthroughs you never thought possible, KickStart is for you. WHAT DO YOU DO IN A KICKSTART CLASS? A typical KickStart training session will incorporate a dynamic warmup, a period of interval training with movements that will have you squat, lunge, push, pull, brace and rotate. 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.
