Children will be able to incorporate physical, cognitive, and psychosocial skills. This class allows for quality family time that increases body awareness and appreciation. The moves in this class increase blood flow to all areas of the body, stretches and strengthens the muscles, helps to flush toxins from the body and improves balance and coordination for both parent and child. It is my belief that participation in healthy activities from an early age reduces a childs risk of obesity and health complications that stem from inactive and poor body awareness. Participation in activity brings confidence and connects the mind, body, and spirit. Parents participate in all classes. 210 6/10-6/28 (MW) 11:15a-11:45a Ages 4-6 $74/$72

Camp Collegiate
Scott Hawley
How would you like to go to camp this summer without ever leaving home? Many boys and girls in Wichita have spent hours of fun in Scott Hawleys Camp Collegiate, a day camp especially designed for boys and girls who are entering third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, or eighth grade. Campers spend their days with friends and counselors doing all of the typical camp things: swimming, arts and crafts, having treats, horseback riding, games and a lot of not-so-traditional things: feeding and caring for snakes, lizards, and other reptiles; studying ecosystems and astronomy; building woodworking and electronics projects; visiting caves and the Oklahoma salt flats; going to Laser Quest; and competing in science challenges. Kids often say that this camp is one of the best parts of their summer! Note: You may send your children for partial sessions that will be pro-rated accordingly.

ATTENTION UPCOMING CALCULUS STUDENTS: If you are enrolling in calculus next school year, then you will want to take this class. Almost all calculus students will admit that it is not the calculus that makes Calculus AB difficult; it is the algebra. This summer exploration class will give you a jump start by ensuring you have an excellent foundation to prepare you for calculus. This course will review many of the critical algebra concepts that are required to be successful in calculus and that most students, even the best and brightest, have difficulties with. Some of the concepts that will be taught are solving logarithmic and exponential functions, solving complex rational functions, factoring and simplifying, and its importance in solving equations. Time will also be spent on trigonometry, such as working with the unit circle and solving trigonometric functions. After attending this class you will most certainly be geared up and ready for calculus! Please bring your graphing calculator. 3020 7/29-8/2 1:30p-3:30p Entering Calculus $309/$300

This two-week course will focus on preparation for the verbal and writing sections of the PSAT and SAT standardized tests. Both verbal exams assess reading comprehension, emphasizing interpretation and analysis of prose passages from a variety of disciplines. They also rely heavily on a students breadth of vocabulary and knowledge of grammar in the context of good writing. This course will review these areas, teach tips and strategies for maximizing test performance, and provide students practice in taking timed sections of the test. Participants will need to complete practice assignments outside of class. In addition to SAT instruction, students will also receive an introduction to the ACT English sections. Rising juniors are strongly encouraged to take both math and verbal preparation courses. These courses are an important step in the development of a systematic approach to test preparation, which should include continuing individual work at home through the fall of the senior year. 3030 7/29-8/9 9:00a-10:30a Grades 9-12 $233/$225

This 30 minute course offers an imaginative, integrative, and experiential learning approach for children and parents using yoga as the foundation. Children will be able to incorporate physical, cognitive, and psychosocial skills. This class allows for quality family time that increases body awareness and appreciation. The moves in this class increase blood flow to all areas of the body, stretches and strengthens the muscles, helps to flush toxins from the body and improves balance and coordination for both parent and child. It is my belief that participation in healthy activities from an early age reduces a childs risk of obesity and health complications that stem from inactive and poor body awareness. Participation in activity brings confidence and connects the mind, body, and spirit. Parents participate in all classes. 210 6/10-6/28 (MW) 9:00a-11:45a Ages 4-6 $74/$72

We focus on three areas to make that happen fundamentals - attitude - and work ethic. We want every young man who leaves our camp to have a total and complete understanding of what it takes to be successful in the game of basketball. In the past twenty-three years, Coach Fiegel has won five State Championships (1993, 1996, 2007, 2009, and 2010) They were second in 1998 and finished third in 1994 and 2011. In 2007 and 2010 he was chosen by the Wichita Eagle as Metro Coach of the Year and All-State Coach of the Year as well. When you think about what camp to choose for you son this summer, ask yourself these questions:
1. Do you want a tough and challenging camp for your son? 2. Is 24 years of summer camp experience important to you? 3. Do you want your son to work harder than he has ever worked and have fun while he is doing it? 4. Do you at some point hope that your son will be a high school player on a great TEAM?

Classes are hard work but enjoyable. The main focus of the class is to teach strength, endurance, coordination, balance, and overall mental and physical discipline. The class core curriculum consists of Kata, which are a series of techniques performed in sequence that contain the essence of Karate. There are also Bunkais, which are two-person drills where you actually learn to apply the techniques you perform in Kata. Finally, we do Kiso Kumite, which is a form of prearranged sparring where you once again perform your technique against a partner in a safe and controlled manner to grasp fully the application of a particular technique. Karate is a great way to improve your physical fitness as well as develop a stronger mind by continuing to push yourself to learn new skills. Great for adults who love to learn, want to stay in shape, and want to find a way to calm their minds. Also great for children ages seven and up to develop positive life-long habits. Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate is being taught by John Leddy, 7th Grade Latin Teacher at WCS. Mr. Leddy has been studying martial arts for the last seventeen years. He is currently a fourth degree black belt in Okinawan Goju Ryu Karate. He started his training in Tae Kwan Do at Wichita State University. After two years he began his study of Karate. He has been training in Karate for fifteen years now and has been teaching for thirteen of those years. 6000 6/3-8/9 3:30p-5:30p(M,T,Th) Age 7-Adult 9:30a-11:00a (Sat)
