BROWNWOOD – July 5, 2024 – The registration deadline for Howard Payne University’s Summer and Young Scholars programs is Monday, July 8. The one-week programs are slated for July 15-19, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on the HPU campus. It is designed to provide intense, fun and academically stimulating summer camp programming for children entering grades K-6.
This year, programming will include a class specifically for students entering kindergarten. The kindergarten class will be self-contained and will admit up to 15 students.
“This year’s program has some added features, including the climbing wall for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders,” said Dr. Julie Welker, chair of the Department of Communication and director of the programs. “Our faculty have prepared amazing lesson plans that are hands-on and challenging. This camp is a great way to get your kids engaged in academics.”
The theme for this year is ‘Nature Explorers,’ which will focus on students learning about all things outdoors. Each student will receive a Field Notes notebook to record experiments throughout the week. Students in grades 1-3 will experience a rotation of classes in math, English, art and PE.
