Spotlight Camps (Grades 6-9)

Join Fay’s golf coach and faculty member Joe Buteau for this intensive golf program. During the week, four mornings will be spent at the Juniper Hill Golf Course joining the club pros for their program. During the rest of the time, campers will be at Fay or other local courses and facilities and will dedicate their time to working on specific skills. Campers will cover putting, chipping, full swing, on-course instruction, etiquette, rules of golf, and more. We’ll use video analysis, training aids, and fun games to develop campers into better players. Bring clubs if you have them, but if you don’t they will be provided.

Join instructors from Chess Wizards this summer for an engaging camp experience filled with challenging lessons, exciting games, and fabulous prizes! Campers will improve their chess skills, meet new friends, and work out their most powerful muscle—their brains! The week will feature action-packed days that are built around the game of chess, including fun team chess games (like Corner Chess), exciting tournaments, and mind-bending puzzles. Of course, we also include time for breaks and snacks to keep the energy up! Every camper receives a t-shirt, trophy, and puzzle folder, and FaySummer provides all necessary materials for participation.

If you love drawing, art, or digital creativity, this Spotlight Camp will show you how to transform your ideas into professional-quality designs. Campers will learn the fundamentals of graphic design—from layout and typography to color theory and digital illustration—using industry-style tools to bring their concepts to life. What makes this camp truly unique? Participants will work on real design projects for local nonprofits, small businesses, and community organizations. Past camper designs have been featured in online campaigns, social media posts, event flyers, and promotional materials for groups such as the Special Olympics, Martha’s Kitchen, and local shelters. Throughout the week, campers will: develop digital art and design skills, create posters, logos, ads, and social media visuals, learn how designers communicate messages through imagery, collaborate with peers on meaningful community-based projects, and build a beginner design portfolio they can continue using and growing.

During this Spotlight Camp, campers will build and program robots to compete in sports-themed challenges! They will expand their engineering skills by designing and experimenting with robotic attachments and refine their computer programming abilities by creating program codes that make their bots run races, play hockey, and so much more. Campers will work in groups and use  LEGO® SPIKE™ Prime technology to complete these exciting challenges. Through challenges, games, and friendly competition, campers learn core programming skills for a future in STEM without even realizing it.

This Spotlight Camp has extended a week due to popular demand! Get ready to put on a performance of a lifetime during this two-week long musical theater camp.. During the two weeks, 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. This program is geared towards both new and seasoned musical theater enthusiasts.


Animation Studio

During this movie-making Spotlight Camp, campers will work in teams to learn the fundamentals of stop motion animation and develop their own animated movie starring some of their favorite LEGO® mini-figures! They will go through the entire movie making process with their filming partner, from story-boarding and plot development, to backdrop and set design, and finally detailed visual and audio editing. The best part, their movie will move beyond the classroom as a digital file so they can share their film with friends and family for years to come!
