General Camp Information

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camp is a day camp for children ages 2+.

Our camps are STEM and educational based and led by trained teachers.

GPA summer camps follow a weekly themed curriculum designed to en-

gage campers in educational learning that is rooted in fun—the basis of

summer! In addition to weekly themes, campers participate in daily and

weekly core activities that include daily reading, mandarin lessons, outdoor

fun, STEM activities, soccer, karate and music. All activities are specifically

tailored for each age group so that they are learning age appropriate skills

and challenged.

REGISTRATION

Registration is easy. You can register online at

www.globalpioneeracademy.org and clicking on “summer camps.” or in per-

son at our offices.

COMMITMENT & FEES

GPA offers flexible summer camp. We ask that you make a minimum 2

week commitment (though weeks do not need to be adjacent). Full week

camp tuition is $325 + $125 registration fee. Partial week (3 days a week)

camp is $195. Sibling, friends & family discounts are offered.

Daily & Weekly Core Activities

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camps are supported by daily and weekly activities that pro-

mote summer learning, mandarin inclusion, reading and STEM (science, technology, engineering

and mathematics).

Reading

All campers participate in daily, age-appropriate reading activities. For younger readers, they

work with teachers on reading skills and group storytelling. Older campers spend a minimum of

30 minutes reading daily during quiet time.

STEM Exploration

All campers explore STEM daily in small groups and participate in weekly themes where they dive

into deeper exploration of science, technology, engineering and math. All activities are designed

for age level appropriateness and skill level.

Soccer, Karate, Music

Each week, campers participate in soccer, karate and music lessons led by professionals in the

field. Lessons are age-appropriate and we always provide photos!

Mandarin Lessons

Campers have daily Mandarin lessons and learn age-level appropriate Mandarin speaking skills.

Healthy Kids & Healthy Lunch

All lunches are included in camper fees and made in our facility

daily. They are always homemade and healthy….because we believe

healthy food fuels healthy kids.

Weekly Themes & Sample Activities

Global Pioneer Academy’s summer camps are designed with weekly themes in mind. Each week

we present a new theme to campers and take them on an adventure with daily activities

that are interactive and exploratory. All activities are tailored to the age of the campers and are

designed to be fun—because what is summer if its not fun! (and a little messy!)

Week one is a shot week for us—and we’re kicking off summer camp doing all the things sum-

Click. Snap. Share. Create memories. This week, kids of all ages learn about taking pho-

tos, creating art with their photos and become “in-

house” photography pros, creating images we’ll

This week is short as we’ll be

closed to celebrate the 4th of

July with our families!

We’re a community of international educators and we believe that its critical to learn about other cultures. Well spend a week with campers from all

different nationalities learning about different food, dances, art and games from around the

Around the World! Cultural Exploration

Technology is moving faster than we can keep up

somedays and kids are learning earlier than ever

how to use it to learn, explore and create. Many

camps are technology free. We believe its important to inspire a love of technology early. This week, stu-

dents will explore technology that is age ap-

propriate and learn to be inquisitive thinkers,

creators and users of technology. They’ll have

the advantage when they head back to school

in the fall!

on their phones or in front of a computer all day!

Week 5:

STEM Week: Trendy Technology

Kids like to eat. We like to eat. And we love to cook. In fact, we love it so much that we’re

committed to healthy homemade snacks and lunches for our campers every day. We also want

our campers to learn how to create healthy snacks for themselves. This week campers will explore cooking safety, learn how to follow recipes and create healthy

snacks both indoors and out. By the time they’re done, they’ll be ready for Master Chef Junior!

Your camper will :

Decorate their own snacks and cupcakes.

Week 6:

lenging STEM areas and we’re committed to getting campers excited about it! This week campers will explore what engineering is, learn to build, create and

explore the field while having a lot of fun. And perhaps even making a few messes along the

way!

exploration and fun!
