High School Musical Theatre Summer Intensive Experience performing the musical Chicago – Teen Edition. The program is for students that are entering 9th grade up to having just graduated from high school in the current year who are passionate about singing, dancing and performing. Students will learn music, dialogue and choreography for a staged production with set, lights and costumes. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or new to musical theater, this program will help you grow as an artist and gain valuable stage experience in a supportive and creative environment. Everyone who enrolls will perform on stage. Rehearsals will be from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm from June 11 - June 27, M-F, with no rehearsal on June 19. The performances will be on June 27 at 7:00 pm and June 28 at 7:00 pm. Participants will need to audition for cast roles on either Wednesday, May 14 or Thursday May 15 from 4 to 6 pm. Please bring a snack, pencil and water bottle to each rehearsal. Attendance is expected at every rehearsal. Due to the small number of rehearsals, missing any of them will hurt the students’ performance and hinder the momentum of the production for the rest of the participants. Performers are also expected to be involved with strike for about 90 minutes after the last performance. Do not sign up for the program if you will be attending any other camp, activity or vacation. Medical appointments must be scheduled for periods outside of rehearsal. If you anticipate any absence, please contact jjjohnson@isd14.org or wold@isd14.org to ensure that your plans do not conflict with the needs of the production. Absences will affect casting of roles.

This is a great introduction to begin and/or continue learning the game of volleyball. We will have varsity coaches, former players and guest coaches working the camp. This camp is designed to build on and/or teach the fundamentals that players will use as they advance. The skills covered will focus on what is needed to be successful in volleyball as well as learning more advanced skills needed for the next level. Students will also break off into ability groups and work on advanced skills as appropriate. Players should dress accordingly; tennis shoes, shorts, and a t-shirt (NO TANK TOPS!). Players should also bring a water bottle.

Welcome to Jr. Zoo Builders Camp, where budding engineers explore the amazing world of animal adaptations—one brick at a time! Each day, campers will dive into the science of survival, discovering how chameleons camouflage, how lobsters use their claws, and how camels thrive in desert heat. Through hands-on building, they’ll create models of each animal, learning how these unique features help them survive in their habitats. By the end of the week, campers will have built their own mini zoo, filled with creatures from around the world and the fascinating adaptations that keep them alive!
