Summary:

The District will seek Board approval of a one year only partnership with Kidzeum of Springfield. Kidzeum of Health and Science is offering a full day summer camp focused on STEM/STEAM, literacy and social-emotional learning through exploration and play. Topics will include pollinators & ecology, sport science, superhero science, food science, survivor skills, aviation, and more. The curriculum for the flight camp was developed in partnership with the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport. Each one-week camp has a different theme that will expose campers to a wide range of topics. Kidzeum camp runs Monday-Friday from 8:30-3:30, June 10-August 2 (no camp June 19, July 4). Lunch is provided. This camp is divided into two age groups. Group 1 includes students who have completed 1st or 2nd grade, and Group 2 includes students who have completed 3rd or 4th grade. Students may attend one or more weeks. Cost is $315 for the full week camps and $252 for the two camps that include a holiday. This partnership will allow District students to attend the camp at no cost. ARP ESSER III funds will be used to support this partnership at a total cost of $71,820.
