Forest Lake Area Schools Community Education

Launch your very own rocket that speeds 300 feet into the air - then it is yours to take home! Students will make and take home multiple rockets of varying difficulty throughout this session. We will use these rockets and airplanes to investigate basic aeronautical concepts including propulsion, thrust, lift, drag and more. We will also hypothesize about travel in outer space, how to get a United States astronaut to Mars and life on Mars. Parents will be asked to contribute two empty 2-liter soda bottles for two different experiments. All other materials are included. Bring a beverage and a nut free snack.

Join us in Sherwood Forest as we reimagine the classic story of Robin Hood. Learn the basics of what it means to be an actor including the audition process, the lingo used, rehearsal expectations and what it takes to put on a show. Learn skills such as auditioning, memorization, blocking, vocal projection, character creation and work collaboratively in creating a youth driven performance. Participants should wear closed toe shoes and comfortable clothes they can move around in and bring a snack (if needed) and a water bottle. For dress rehearsal and performance, students will need to wear an all black base costume (pants, shoes and t-shirt or tank-top) to be worn under their provided costume pieces.

Calling all doodlers! Are you ready to take your drawings to the next level? In this advanced class designed specifically for older artists, we’ll learn and master a simple step-by-step method to truly fantastic drawings. From cute koalas to radiant sunsets to a lighthouse that really glow-in-the-dark, we’ll hone our drawing skills as we create unique masterpieces any burgeoning artist would be proud of! Bring a beverage and a nut-free lunch.

Learn how to fly like the pros in the Drone Racing League by training on a flight simulator. Once students learn the basics of flying, they’ll assemble their very own drone which they’ll get to keep. After learning drone safety and maintenance, students will take their drone to the skies and compete in numerous races and challenges. Led by experienced instructors, students will leave camp with the skills and knowledge to pilot their drones and keep them running. The drones used in camps have cameras and are perfect for entry level pilots.

Young future actors will learn and practice the skills of performing on stage including speaking with volume, memorization, singing and moving their bodies to help tell a story. We will also be creating a keepsake item that students will use in the performance and learn a short collection of songs and poems to be memorized and performed on the last day of camp for friends and family. Our theme this year is “Dino’s in Space”. Our silly poems and songs will explore dinosaurs, the solar system and beyond.

Early Childhood Screening is a free and simple check of how your child is growing, developing and learning. It is a review of your child's height, weight, hearing, vision, speech, language, motor and cognitive development. Screening at 3 is preferred, but a child may be screened between the ages of 3 and the start of kindergarten as required by law. Screening is not an examination to determine readiness for school, but to screen for potential problems that may interfere with a child's ability to be successful. Early screening and intervention promotes early success.

First Aid and Safety Trained Kids (F.A.S.T.) covers basic first aid, water safety, vehicle safety, home emergencies, injury prevention, personal safety and healthy living. Information provided will help prepare children for staying home alone. Students will receive a book and construct a home first aid kit as part of the class. Bring a beverage and a nut free snack.

Your favorite instructors return with more knowledge, refined coaching skills and your favorite fencing games and arm bands. Safety is our first priority in this high-octane, inclusive environment. Bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothes and closed toed shoes. We supply safety swords, protective masks, chest plates and jackets. Bring a beverage and a nut free snack.
