Kirby Hall Summer Camp

My son attended the cooking camp last summer and had a wonderful time. He came home each day almost out of breath trying to tell me all the great things he had done. We got great reports from his teacher each day. The kids cooked their own snacks and lunches each day — my son ate many of the foods for the first time and even came home and asked for salad with dinner one day!

We have heard about Kirby Hall from a friend whose son goes there for school. This summer, I found out I had a week of gap in my 8 years old daughter summer camp schedule. Like a skillful project manager swiftly scheduling a resource to fill in a gap in his/​her Gantt chart, I quickly went on Kirby Hall’s website and signed her up for her first Art & Craft camp at Kirby Hall.
My daughter had a blast. Her art camp had only 5 kids in it, so the kids get plenty of one-​on-​one with the teacher. She learned to knit and was and is still hooked. I knew zilch about knitting and I had to turn to internet and her teacher so I could help her during her first few days of knitting at home. Her teacher was so supportive and corresponded with me throughout the week to keep me informed of the progress.
The kids learned paper mache, weaving a basket from used T-​shirts, creating paper arts from cut up magazines and paint samples. Such a creative program!
