Why Parents and Campers Love this Camp! This camp is for incoming 1st-5th graders (Fall 2012-13) who enjoy learning about their world through hands-on exploration.
• Full-day program, from 7:30 AM – 5:30 PM for one fee. • Hands-on afternoon field trips reinforce morning academics. • Maintain and exceed academic growth from the grade just completed. • The opportunity to sample many varied activities. • Convenient location with easy parking for pick-up and drop-off. • Great for working parents! • Exploring the abundance of wildlife in and around Ann Arbor.
Each morning campers have a small group classroom experience Monday-Thursday mornings campers have a small group experience led by exemplary AAPS teachers. Friday mornings are set aside for special interactive hands on projects based at the site. Unique to this camp, students synthesize their afternoon experience through writing, scientific inquiry and problem solving, extending their learning and reducing typical learning losses that can occur over the summer.
The classroom is outdoors in the afternoon... the sky is the limit! In the afternoons, Naturalists Dave Szczygiel and John Stahly lead campers in explorations of a variety of natural areas that provide a theme and context for the morning math and language arts lessons. Each Friday afternoon all campers have fun swimming at a local public pool.
Green Adventures Camp is an exciting academic and enrichment camp with a focus on learning conservation, ecology and what it means to be “green”.

Week 3 Nectar Collectors People need plants, and plants need pollinators! Bees and butterflies, beetles and bats, wind and even water get it done, and Green Campers will take a close look at some of these hard workers that keep things growing. Protecting pollinators and helping them along will be one focus this week, and we may even get a taste of honey in the deal! Week 4 “Just Add Water” Get up close and personal with all kinds of waterways. Explore the Huron River watershed from Ann Arbor to Lake Erie, make fishing poles and fish with them, and cast your net and see what lurks in the muck. Canoeing and other water activities abound.

Safety Town
Safety Town Questions? Call 734-994-2300, ext. 53106
Do you have a child ready to start kindergarten in the fall? Come to Safety Town where your child learns safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-size mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on bikes. The curriculum covers bike helmets and booster seats, stranger danger, fire safety, riding a school bus, pedestrian safety, etc. Songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons. Guest speakers include: Buster the Bus”, AAPS’ own talking school bus, “Andy the Ambulance” HVA’s talking ambulance, Police officers, Firefighters, Healthcare workers and Safety experts from the Washtenaw County Coalition. The 2012 program is sponsored by Rec&Ed in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The goal is to help kids evaluate “safe” from “unsafe” when confronted with potentially dangerous situations. We are aware of two incidents when Safety Town training helped save the lives of past participants! Students can be placed with friends as long as registration forms are submitted together and a special request is listed on the forms. In most cases we are able to place children with others attending their school. Please plan on staying with your child for a few minutes the first day to find the location of the classroom, receive a brief orientation and meet the teacher. Scholarships are available for those who financially qualify. The last day of the session is a graduation ceremony. Parents are invited to attend the brief ceremony, after which children are dismissed. Sign up for our Safety Town & Camp Combination, which provides a wrap-around program Monday-Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm.
