For families ready to join us in a safe environment, we look forward to holding in-person camps at our Bethesda, Rockville, and Northwest DC locations. We are also excited to continue providing our popular virtual programming with interactive and fun camps designed for the online format. This summer we will embrace what theatre is all about: creativity, collaboration, and community!

In this camp, students will develop their skills through puzzles, lessons, and games against other students. The camp will focus on the fundamentals of chess including strategies for the beginning, middle and endgame. The camp is designed for beginners and those new to chess that want to improve their skills.

Learn the legendary music of the 70s, 80s and 90s rock scene spanning decades and genres in this 5-day camp. Campers will learn the music of 70s, 80s, and 90s rock icons as well as into the 2000's such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and The Rolling Stones in our Classic Rock Rewind Summer Camp. In addition to songs, students will learn about rock history and the stagecraft needed to perform on a stage. At the end of the week, students will put on a live performance. Great for students 7-18 years of age who have had some previous instruction.

Students will have fun engaging their artistic side in our Digital Art camp! Create and edit images, shapes, and text, and learn how to make photo collages, use selection tools, filters, digital brushes and more! This is an introduction to photo editors and visual communication, solving visual problems with digital solutions. Add to your portfolio every day to show friends and family. Throughout the course, students will establish proficiency with the photo editor interface and tools, and will gain an understanding of file formats, color management, image resolution, and pixel depth for differing output needs. They will learn about texturing, compositing, and various effects that can be applied when creating and manipulating images. Kids and teens will be grouped by age and level. Maximum number of students will be 4 in a virtual setting.

Explore, learn, socialize and thrive at KidzToPros STEM, Sports and Arts Camps! From coding and robotics to film making, digital arts, soccer, tennis, and more, Pre-K to 8th graders will develop new skills and learn teamwork and sportsmanship in a fun, creative and safe environment.

Eliot Summer Academy is excited to offer additional courses through Global Online Academy (GOA). GOA’s Mission is to reimagine learning to empower students and educators to thrive in a globally-networked society.

By learning how to program computers in ComputerCraft, students gain extra control over their Minecraft worlds and can create new and exciting things. ComputerCraft is a modification for Minecraft that’s all about computer programming. It allows students to build in-game Computers and Turtle Robots, writing programs for Minecraft using the Lua programming language.

Here at Westmoreland, we strongly believe in student-led, experiential learning. Our outdoor, hands-on nature camps will foster a lasting curiosity and passion for nature in your child. Our campers learn about wildlife, environmental science, and develop a lifelong love for the outdoors. All of our camps are run by our professional Naturalists and are kept to a 1:10 staff to camper ratio or less.
