Summer Camp at the - Issaquah School District

2nd-4th grade
Science Camps are for curious campers who want to
explore how things work and why. Coaches from Big
Brains Education Enrichment of Bellevue help young
scientists explore the wide world of science—from robots
and rockets to chemistry and submarines. With tons of
hands-on experiments, we’ll build, sink, zap, and crash
things all summer long!
Performing Arts Camp
Powered by Mercer Island’s own Youth Theatre Northwest, kids will
hone theater and life skills, gaining confidence both on and off stage.
Younger kids will use their imaginations, bodies, and voices in theater
games and adventures. Kids in grades 3-6 will work as an ensemble
to create a production complete with costumes, sets, and lights. Each
three-week session culminates in a performance for families, friends,
and fellow campers onstage at the J.

them valuable life skills. From creative cooking to canoeing
fundamentals to surviving in the wilderness, these camps
make summer one big adventure.
