All Things French Camp

For students currently in Grades 1 – 4

Bonjour mes amis! This summer, come and join us as we explore ALL THINGS FRENCH. This camp is open to all levels of French students as well as those with no experience. During the week, students will have the opportunity to practice their French skills (or learn French if they are beginners) by embarking in stories they will be creating.

We will create and act out situations and stories to highlight new vocabulary and teach grammar contextually (this method is often called TPRS, Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling or CI, Comprehensible Input). Often the stories will be unexpected to create enthusiasm around learning new vocabulary. As we create the story, we will also make props or drawings to visually reinforce the information. This allows all levels of students to understand the material at all times, making the experience enjoyable and memorable.

When we aren’t speaking French, we will be talking about the 27 French-speaking countries around the world. Campers will enjoy discovering a traditional French sport named Petanque or cooking some Pain perdu (French Toast).

Finally, the week wouldn’t be complete without singing in French. Campers will have the opportunity to discover songs listened to on the other side of the world.

All Things French is taught by The Roeper School French teacher SABRINA PREVOST who loves teaching and sharing the French culture. Sabrina has been teaching at Roeper for three years and is a native French speaker from France. She came to the U.S. with her husband 13 years ago. Before joining the Roeper staff, Sabrina was involved in Figure Skating, which she coached for 23 years and organized numerous events.

One week, AUGUST 7 – 11, 9am-Noon, $150

Forensics Acting Camp

For students currently in Grades 4 – 8 Just to clear up the most commonly asked question, this is an ACTING camp, not a crime scene investigation camp. At SPEAK OUT: FORENSICS ACTING CAMP, a two-week long program, students use plays, stories, poems, or their own writing to focus in on the details of performance and public speaking. Students can perform in a solo piece, with a partner, or in a group. Participants play with different techniques that address line interpretation, character development, stage fright, body language, improvisational theatre, and finding ways to connect with their own emotions and with their audiences through the words of their pieces. Students will be working with some top forensics coaches in the state of Michigan!

Forensics Camp is led by The Roeper School teacher DAN JACOBS. Dan has taught science fiction and fantasy literature, forensics, debate and a myriad of other classes at The Roeper School for over 20 years. Dan graduated from the University of Michigan with a B.A. in English, a minor in Social Studies and certification in Secondary Education. He is the Head Coach for speech activities at Roeper, including Lincoln-Douglas Debate, High School Forensics and Middle School Forensics.

Students will produce paper negatives, make positives in the darkroom and learn how to hand-color black and white photographs. All materials are provided. Students will also have the opportunity to scan their pinhole images, and work on them digitally in Photoshop. In addition, students will be able to work with digital images that they bring with them to camp. In case of inclement weather, where students are unable to go outside, the students will be using digital equipment.
