Enrichment Camps

A+ Math CampGrades 2-6. Would you like to give your child an advantage in math? A+ math masters is a math en-richment program that offers a week-long summer booster program to challenge kids who would like to get a little more out of math. students are grouped by ability level and each group has approximately 10-15 students. methods include real-life applica-tions of math, logic and math games, presented in such a fun way that children don't realize it’s a math camp!

The curricu-lum covers grade-level expectations, plus expands the curriculum to the fullest ability of the child.

Come to safety Town where your child learns safety awareness in a fun and entertaining way using a child-size mock Ann Arbor “town” explored on bikes. The curriculum covers bike helmets and booster seats, stranger danger, fire safety, riding a school bus, pedestrian safety, etc. songs, games, stories and art projects reinforce the lessons. Guest speakers includee: Buster the Bus”, AAPs’ own talking school bus, “Andy the Ambulance” HVA’s talk-ing ambulance, Police officers, Firefighters, Healthcare workers and safety experts from the Washtenaw County Coalition.

The 2011 program is sponsored by reC & eD in cooperation with the Ann Arbor Police Department. The goal is to help kids evaluate “safe” from “unsafe” when confronted with potentially dangerous situations. We are aware of two incidents when safety Town training helped save the lives of past participants! Students can be placed with friends as long as registration forms are submitted together and a special request is listed on the forms. In most cases we are able to place children with others attending their school. Please plan on staying with your child for a few minutes the first day to find the location of the classroom, receive a brief

orientation and meet the teacher. scholarships are available for those who finan-cially qualify. The last day of the session is a graduation ceremony. Parents are invited to attend the brief ceremony, after which children are dismissed. sign up for our safety Town & Camp Combination, which provides a wrap-around program monday-Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm.

The authori-zation must be signed by both a physician and a parent, whether the medication is prescribed or over-the-counter. All medica-tions must be in their original containers and clearly labeled. Camps follow the dis-trict policy governing the use of epi-pen injections for insect or food allergies.
