A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A SHINE BRIGHT CAMPER

With both our Starpath Summer Camps and Track Out Camps, we make sure our programs engage our students from the moment they walk in the doors until the moment they leave. Each morning starts with welcome chatting in the lobby, settling in, and making sure we have everything we need - snack, lunch, & water! We begin each week with icebreaker games to learn names and get to know each other better. 

Next, it's dancing time!  We always begin with a warm-up to get our bodies loose, followed by a good stretch to make sure we are ready to move! After this, we have across-the-floor and center-work time, where we learn and practice new skills. Each day we focus on a different style of dance. We have included: Jazz, HipHop, Ballet, Musical Theatre, and Lyrical in our camps! After we work on skills, we learn our dance of the day. This is a routine particular to the style of the day that will be performed at our Friday show! Each day is a new routine. 

After dancing time, we take a physical and mental break and enjoy a snack, and a small creative or art activity. To round out our time before lunch, we do a team building exercise or play an educational game. During lunch, students rest and usually watch an age appropriate movie or show.

Following lunch we get our bodies moving again with yoga or a light warm-up, then practice our skills and dance of the day again.  Professor Pirouette™ is next - one of our favorite parts of the day! Here we use curriculum based activities to apply what we are learning in our camp theme to the real world. This could be activities revolving around Math, Science, Language Arts, or Social Studies. Our students love to be creative, so after Professor Pirouette™, we have a fun craft. 

Before the day is over, we have time for more peer bonding, games, obstacle courses, skill clinic, etc. Our campers are usually not ready for the day to end and can’t wait to return the next day!
