Welcome to Nueva Summer's Camps for 1st & 2nd Graders!
| 
We invite our campers entering grades 1 and 2 to choose from six exciting themes — three brand new and the rest carefully picked favorites from the last three years. All programs have entirely new content for 2012.
We have created two separate weeklong programs for each theme. This means your camper can register for an A week and a B week under the same theme and attend two distinct camps. The A and B week programs are non-sequential, so campers can attend an A week followed by a B week, or a B week followed by an A week. Campers could even do an A week, go on vacation for a few weeks, and then return to Nueva Summer to attend a B week later!
Choose from morning, afternoon, or all-day options. The descriptions below describe the general program for both A and B weeks for each theme.

Outdoor Adventures Ol' Nueva has a farm, E-I-E-I-O! Goats, chickens, an organic vegetable garden, woodsy trails, and 33 acres of stunning meadow and forest make this program a must for summer adventurers. Learn how food travels from farm to table, care for our animals, create nature art projects, and play outdoor games in this fun-packed, long-standing Nueva camp. |
Mini-Makers Do you wonder how everyday machines actually work? Now you can figure out using your own hands and a curious mind. Master tinkerers will guide you through Nueva's design-thinking process as you encounter challenges sure to make your brain buzz! LEGO® Mindstorms® Challenges, Tinker-Offs, and Maker Madness will keep campers' lightbulbs burning bright in this exciting camp. |
Crocker Art Studio Spend one fun-filled week immersed in the process of artistic expression! Learn to design and sew your own stuffed monster. Use clay to build a mask from your own imagination. Work with friends to paint a wall mural. You will leave the week equipped with skills, ideas, and — most importantly — inspiration! Each week will culminate in a Crocker Gallery opening for all visitors to enjoy! |

Nueva Summer is a NUT-FREE camp (this includes ground and tree nuts and their derivatives for both snacks and lunch).
