About Us

Our mission is to provide quality, summer enrichment programs for elementary and secondary students.

Our straightforward teaching philosophy is that learning should be engaging and fun. 

We accomplish this with experiential learning strategies (ELS) and near peer teaching (NPT). All our camps and workshops make use of interactive, hands-on activities. We believe learning best takes place when students are "doing." We utilize all four of the Kolb’s learning cycle concepts: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Studies (see Kent) show that students benefit from ELS. Outcomes include:

• Better retention of course material
• Self-awareness into their own skills, interests, passions, and values
• Development  of collaboration and communication skills
• Self-confidence and leadership skills

Our Camp Directors are professional educators, but our lab and workshop leaders are high school, college and law school students. We invest several months training our leaders in effective NPT strategies. The benefits of NPT include:

• Students learn from an instructor who is more likely to use language that the students understand. 
• Students feel safer in the learning environment because near-peer teachers are often more approachable and empathetic.

  In 2019, we began by offering a high school mock trial camp. In 2020, we added college admissions workshops. This year we are adding two new camps: a creativity camp for 4th-6th grade and a middle school Law Camp.

We are developing curriculum for future camps including Explore Dallas! Career Exploration, Life Skills, Project Start Up and more. 

Students we have worked with have succeeded at the national competitive level and been admitted into Ivy League and other tier-1 schools.
