Creative Arts at Park
 
CREATIVE SUMMER FUN IN BROOKLINE

Creative Arts at Park, a multi-arts program for students aged 8 to 15, has spaces available for its 5-week summer session that starts June 23 and ends July 25, 2008. Participants choose their own schedule from over 130 courses in the performing and visual arts, writing, video, photography, as well as from a wide range of sports classes, although it is first and foremost an arts camp. As one former camper phrased it "This is not your typical camp. It doesn't value sports over the arts. It treats everything with equal respect." For more information call 617-232-1175 or 617-274-6066 and ask for Kippy Dewey or go to http://www.parkschool.org/caap/. Creative Arts at Park is a program of the Park School.

 
 
Showa Boston - Adventure and Discovery Programs
 Looking for something new to do this summer?  Come take part in the Adventure or Discovery Program at Showa Boston!  We offer an exciting chance to learn about Japan and a chance to make international friends. 

The Adventure Program runs from July 23 to August 6.  It is for all girls going into grades 7 and 8.  American students interact with Japanese students in classes and on daily excursions. English and Japanese classes and cultural activities give students a better understanding of one another's culture.  English and Japanese language learning activities are planned for the morning sessions. Afternoons are either spent on campus where there is swimming, tennis, games and crafts or by visiting sites in and around Boston.  

The Discovery Program runs from July 22 to August 6.  It is an overnight program offered to all girls who are going into grades 9, 10, and 11.  Participants will live in a dorm room with a Japanese roommate.   The Discover Program is a unique intercultural exchange program for American and Japanese girls. For two weeks the girls in the program share information about their cultures and learn how to enhance their leadership skills by exploring Boston and the surrounding areas.  

Scholarship help is available for both programs.  For more information visit our website at or contact us at 617-522-0080 ext. 4204.
