Description
Welcome to Discover the World of Communication
where you learn to build a digital portfolio, script, shoot
and edit a film, write a news story like a pro, speak with
confidence, persuade, inform, educate and entertain.
Our professional, hands-on workshops are taught by
American University School of Communication faculty
and communication professionals. During class and
after hours, explore the city from a variety of angles.
View live television and radio broadcasts at local
studios such as NBC 4, WTTG Fox 5, NPR and ESPN
Radio, cover a Nationals baseball game or WNBA
game from a press seat, and tour local attractions
including the National Zoo, Newseum, National
Cathedral, Georgetown and the Smithsonian
museums.
Outdoor play and exploration (Beauvoir Campus for
Outdoor Learning), both structured and unstructured,
are important developmental steps for children, and
can inspire life skills that will go on to serve them well
as they mature. Confidence, decision-making ability, a
sense of self-worth and a bond with nature are just
some of the benefits.’
Children learn through play and at Beauvoir, the two go
hand-in-hand. Morning and afternoon blocks allow the
camper to craft his or her own day. Beauvoir has
partnerships with quality local programs such as
Outdoor Adventures, Mad Science, Tiny Chefs,
Gourmet Chefs, Excite Soccer, Movie Magic, 21st
Century Music Solutions, Beauvoir Summer
Newsletter (new in 2014), Robotics, Wood Creations,
Sport Sampler, and Dynamite Gymnastics.
Camps are divided into two age groups: 4-6 year olds
and 7-12 year olds. The children generally will work in
pairs and build projects through Brick 4 Kids® lesson
plans and make creations of their own during free play
periods.
Staff plays various games with the children using
LEGO® bricks and spends some time with LEGO®
video games. The children will work and play with
programmable bricks along with electric motors,
sensors, system bricks, and LEGO® technical pieces
(such as gears, axles and beams).
