Thinking Teacher Goals and Responsibilities:

Each day, campers will be challenged to organize, develop, examine, expand, and explain their creative ideas. As part of our morning together, curious young minds will create thinking portfolios while stimulating and improving their cognitive and lateral thinking strategies. What does that mean? There are no wrong answers!

“A favorite activity is taking four words, representing four distinct ideas, and finding a way for the concepts to intertwine and become related. Students are challenged to think creatively and to find original connections. These brain exercises feel as good intellectually as a workout feels to your body.”
