Summer Camps 2026!
Keep your kids engaged this summer with virtual summer camps & clubs! There is something for everyone: math puzzle camps, algebra 1 prep, book clubs and more! Our camps are fun and educational, but they also prevent summer slide and give kids the tools they need to succeed. Clubs are small-group. (two-five students)

Hello
Heather's Book Clubs!
Book clubs keep kids' thinking over the long summer! Students spend the week before meeting days reading assigned pages. On meeting days, Heather facilitates an inclusive group discussion based on that week's reading, followed by a fun cross-curricular activity related to the book in math, science, history & more!

It's 1789 in Paris, and
13-year-old Sophie Germain would rather spend her nights solving equations than attend fancy tea parties.
When Sophie cracks a mysterious cipher, she’s pulled into a secret society known as the Blue Stockings: inventors, dreamers, and women who think too much. Amid rising civil unrest in the streets, revolutionary ideas abound. Sophie must decide: play it safe, or join the equation for change.
This is an historical fiction novel inspired by the real adolescence of one of history’s most brilliant mathematicians.

Canadian-born Emma Edmonds loved the thrill of adventure and chasing freedom. So in 1861, when the Civil War began, she enlisted in the Union Army.
With cropped hair and men's clothing, Emma transformed herself into a peddler, slave, bookkeeper and more, seamlessly gathering information and safely escaping each time.
This fictionalized biography will inspire readers for generations to come.
Cross-Curricular Activities will include the history of the United States Civil War.
Upper Grades (ages 13-16)
Harper Lee's Pulitzer Prize-winning masterwork of honor and injustice in the deep South—and the heroism of one man in the face of blind and violent hatred--is one of the most cherished stories of all time.
A gripping, heart-wrenching, and wholly remarkable tale of coming-of-age in a South poisoned by virulent prejudice, it views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father—a crusading local lawyer—risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
Cross-Curricular Activities will include rhetoric (persuasive techniques) and U.S. history.
