As summer draws near, there’s an air of excitement for the upcoming season, especially for the highly anticipated camps at Blakely Hall. With a perfect blend of fun, engagement, interaction and education, these camps offer a rewarding and enriching experience for kids in our community.

This year, we are happy to welcome back Destination Science, Epic Art, Frog Legs Cooking Camp and Seattle Magic Academy.

Destination Science Camps offer a hands-on approach to science for children ages 5-11. The highly qualified camp staff teaches three lessons each day to get kids excited about the world of science. Daily activities are designed to help children recognize the importance of friendship and cooperation. The three programs offered this summer are Rescue Robot Mystery Camp, BioBot & Roller Coaster Camp and Artemis Moon Mission Camp.

Epic Art Camps promotes a fun and creative environment for children to make new friends, learn, have fun and get messy. In an effort to inspire our next generation of inventors and doers, Daphne Park resident Angela Bizzari strives to spark curiosity and set up opportunities for children to explore and express their ideas creatively and proudly. The following programs are offered for 4-6-year-olds: Small Wonders Magical Houses and Portrait Palooza. Epic Treehouse Design and 3-D Forest & Wildlife Diorama are available for ages 7 and up.

FrogLegs Cooking Camps provide engaging and interactive experiences for kids and teens. Campers get a hands-on approach to cooking and the dynamic team brings ingredients to life. Students gain a positive attitude towards all food with an added dollop of fun and sprinkle of delight. The following programs are available for 5-9-year-olds: The Great Outdoors, Wonderfully Amazing Animals, Harry Potter and Retro Soda & Ice Cream Shoppe. Programs for 10-14-year-olds include: Little Italy, Passport de Cuisine, Flour Power, Retro Soda & Ice Cream Shoppe and Food Trucks.

Seattle Magic Academy Camps offer an amazing adventure into the exciting world of magic for children ages 6-12. In this summer’s “Discover Magic” camp, rule #1 is to have fun. In addition to learning magic, the camp includes activities and programs to help kids build communication skills and confidence. Two programs offered this summer include Outrageous Orange Magic Camp and Purple Palooza Magic Camp.
