Summer Camp for Rising 2nd-5th Graders
Everything Is Awesome! Campers will learn to create their own awesome stop-motion animated movies with titles, credits, and sound effects. Campers may bring their own Lego pieces or other action figures to enhance their movies; Legos, tablets, and any other required supplies are provided by the camp. The movies will be sent out to each camper for in-home viewing following the camp.
Campers will focus on the fundamentals of tennis skills (forehand, backhand, and serving) and put those skills into practice. All Westminster Academy coaches are professing believers and are in training to be transformational coaches: who use their “coach-power” to nurture and transform players, who are “dedicated to self-understanding and empathy, viewing sports as a virtuous and virtue-giving discipline” (InSideOut Coaching). Daily devotions will focus on practicing and exercising faith, drawing from the many scriptures that make analogy to athletics.
No gloves ... no problem! Join us in a battle of wit and creativity each day. Lego enthusiasts will tap into their genius through guided free-build missions, interactive team-driven Lego competitions, and our ultimate Battle Royale. This week will focus on STEAM (science, tech, engineering, art, math) through computational thinking, design, creativity, and more. Grab a friend and let the battle begin!

Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!!! Battebots camps will allow students the opportunity to design, build, program, and control their own battlebot and compete in head-to-head competitions. Students will work with multiple types of bots for their competitions and challenges each day of camp. Engineers will pound, smash, flip, rip, and destroy their opponents’ bot. Bring your game face … winner takes all!
A crime wave has hit Westminster Academy and it is up to the sleuths of CSI: Westminster to uncover whodunit! Each day of CSI Camp, students are faced with a challenge that must be solved using a variety of scientific inquiries, like fingerprinting, ink-identification, and so much more. Logic skills will also be front and center as students reason through the evidence to solve these mysteries. Our scriptural devotions will include a meditation on Psalm 139 and the God from whom no things are hidden, not even the secrets of our hearts.
Dash is a robot that will respond to voice commands, navigate objects, dance, and sing. Dash is easily programmed wtih a tablet that we provide. Working in teams of two, campers will give Dash new behaviors and meet challenges by using drag-and-drop coding. This robot is fun and gives campers the foundations they need to become great programmers!

Come join us as we re-create Anakin’s workshop! Campers will tinker away and use robotic LEGOS to build fantastic Star Wars creations.

Memphis is full of beauty, history, and creativity! We will use our city as inspiration in a wide variety of projects in this art camp. Young artists will explore various media while celebrating everything from the Memphis Grizzlies and Gibson's Donuts, to the Mississippi River and the Blues. We will look at the work of local artists and how Memphis influences their art. We hope to take the campers out to sketch and experience Memphis sites throughout the week; this will depend on travel restrictions due to the pandemic, so more information will be available closer to camp week.
