The following camps are included in the AOE, Jr. Summer Camp curriculum. This exciting extension book provides detailed, day-by-day instructions on how to conduct summer camp topics using the curriculum resources and manipulatives from the Academy of Engineering, Jr.. Each summer camp curriculum described below is designed to be conducted over the course of a week, assuming half-day intervals. A sample schedule would be the AOE Da Vinci Camp, operated Monday - Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
