Specialty Camps (Grades 2-5)

In this camp, campers will learn the basics of architecture, from drawing and designing to creating structures and buildings. Campers will dive into hand-on projects that will unleash their inner architect and artist: they'll design the home of their dreams, discover the inspiration for famous buildings and bridges, and plan a new roller coaster for their favorite theme park.

In this Specialty Camp, campers will build their own magical world of wizardry, from knights and dragons to crowns and castles! Campers will use LEGO bricks to build their foundational understanding of simple machines, physics, and engineering design. They'll see moving parts up close as they follow instructions to build machines, then use the models to develop new design ideas, test out physics concepts, and even play games with their fellow campers.

After years of great camps, FaySummer has once again partnered with the Waterfall Tennis Academy, directed by Coach Waterfall, for our summer tennis program. Each daily three-hour session will focus on stroke fundamentals, match play, fast-paced drills, and exciting games. Campers will benefit from great coaching staff, fun games, and a safe environment, all on Fay’s campus.

Learn the ins and outs of musical theater performance during our popular Broadway Bootcamp Specialty Camp. During this camp, campers will be singing, acting, and dancing their way through classical and contemporary musical theater scenes and songs. Campers will not only work on performing musical theater pieces, but they will also have the opportunity to create a set, costumes, and props for a final showcase for families to view.
The two-week program is geared towards both new and seasoned musical theater enthusiasts. All are welcome to join and no experience is needed.

During the first week of this Specialty Camp, campers will take on engineering and design challenges while working as a team to complete timed tasks. They will be challenged to design and build complex objects, work cooperatively with others to secure their place on a team, and compete to be the fastest and most precise builders in the camp. During the second week, campers will learn how to take an idea and turn it into a building in the real world. They will be guided through the building process, from creating a floor plan to disaster-proofing the structure, so that they will be able to create the next best thing in LEGO® architecture!

In this program for art enthusiasts, campers learn and experiment with a variety of art techniques and mediums, but with an eco-twist: they'll upcycle ‘trash’ and recyclable materials into creative creations such as murals, decorative containers, and wearable art. Let your creativity run wild, dream big, and help the environment along the way as you stretch your creativity this summer.

FaySummer's horseback riding Specialty Camp at Century Mill Stables is a fun and interactive way to learn the basics of horsemanship and riding, or to continue to develop skills. Each day, campers will learn the basics of good horse care through grooming, general knowledge of equipment, parts of the horse, and colors and breeds. The riding portion of the lesson includes steering and control while riding at the walk and trot, correct rider body position, and some horseback games. Century Mill’s program is fully licensed with experienced instructors; the stable has an indoor ring and heated/air conditioned lounge area, so lessons run in all weather. Their barn follows the best practices of the industry for safety and horse care and has an excellent safety record, with healthy, well-rested, happy horses and ponies for the campers to enjoy.
Pick-up and drop-off are on the Fay campus, and campers will be transported to Century Mill Stables by a FaySummer staff member.

This Specialty Camp offers a great opportunity to explore multiple topics and passions across two weeks of camp. The first week will be a combination of LEGO based Pokémania and Minecraft programs. Campers will explore the Pokémon world and practice their Pokémon training skills. They will create their own training gyms, unique battles, and even their very own generation of Pokémon. They will also explore some real-world science as they examine the habitats, characteristics, and needs of different Pokémon. In addition, campers will transition from the virtual 2D world of Minecraft, to practicing their creativity and LEGO construction skills all based on the Minecraft themes they know and love. During the second week, animal lovers will be able to build a variety of LEGO® Spike Prime robotic creatures that respond to each of their programmed commands. Working in teams, campers will be taught how to effectively utilize sensors, how different mechanical components work in their robots, and how to program software for their robot creations.
