July 14-18 from 8:30-12:00 with Bob Hazen.
Algebra is THE gateway to every higher math or science course that even a 3rd-4th grader will take - so turn your child ON to math, long before a typical Algebra-1 class! SAI provides a solid, lasting preview of foundational algebra topics (variables, powers, algebraic factoring, & prime numbers), while connecting with basic facts and arithmetic. In SAI, we use color, size, shape, texture, music, movement, hands-on activities, & fun games - all so that foundational algebra concepts are embedded deeply in student minds. SAI course material is designed so that students with a wide range of math abilities have done well in SAI. While gifted students have benefitted from SAI, students who are average and even struggling with math have also been successful in SAI.
• See our Q&A page at www.algebraforkids.com/sai-faqs/ for more information about SAI.

Did you know that disc golf is one of the fastest-growing sports around? Whether you have played or never thrown a disc before, you are welcome to come to camp to learn more about the sport. You will learn how to throw forehands, backhands, approach shots, and putts. You will also learn how each disc flies differently than other discs. If you do not own any disc golf discs (different than an ultimate frisbee) there will be a few to borrow but it is also recommended to purchase one of your own. (Meijer has Innova 3 disc packs for $25 and there are local disc golf stores in the area where you can buy a used disc for around $10.) Feel free to reach out to Mr. Rush with any questions including what disc(s) would be a good first purchase!
