Thank you for considering Knowledge Builders for your child's summer camp this year. We are incredibly excited about the upcoming summer camp. As we celebrate our 17th annual summer camp, we are confident that our campers will have the best summer experience yet.

​

Over the last few years, we have promised our campers an experience that lasts forever, and we just keep getting better and better!

​​

At our summer camp, we believe that every child has the power to make the world a better place by embracing their unique talents and passions. Inspired by the words of George Washington Carver, “When you do the common thing in life in an uncommon way, you will command the attention of the world,” we encourage our campers to approach each activity with creativity, curiosity, and an open heart. By thinking outside the box and adding their own special touch, campers will not only discover their own potential but also inspire others to do the same. Here, every child is empowered to do the ordinary in extraordinary ways, creating a ripple effect of kindness, innovation, and leadership that extends far beyond camp. We are excited to see our students “Innovate, Create, and Greenify”!

​​

This summer, we are offering an 8-week STEAM program, complemented by educational and engaging field trips. Our STEAM Summer Camp fosters brainstorming, collaboration, curiosity, and environmental conservation. It encourages problem-solving and promotes mental flexibility. Campers will participate in hands-on experiments, coding workshops, art and design projects, and robotics challenges. They will also engage in team-building activities, leadership development sessions, and community service projects.

​

We are thrilled to offer four full days of hands-on experiments, exploring, researching, creating, and designing projects that will include all components of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). All games and crafts are centered around key STEAM areas such as coding, robotics, and engineering. Your child can expect to:

• Explore Virtual Reality

• Write Code

• Build and Program Robotics with Vex IQ and Cubelets

• Showcase Creativity with Artistic and Musical Projects

​​

Camp dates: June 9th through August 1st, 2025 (8 weeks)

 

CAMP HOURS: Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Before-and-after care is available from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at no charge.

 

Staff: WWe have an incredible camp staff that is dedicated and excels at what they do. Our staff comprises experienced, certified educators. All representatives are thoroughly background-checked and are required to have CPR and First Aid certifications. Youth workers are over the age of 16 and are partnered with an adult staff member.

 

BREAKFAST, LUNCH AND SNACK:  Knowledge Builders is likely the only camp that offers breakfast and hot lunch (except the first week of camp and on field trip days). Breakfast is served daily from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. Please send your child to camp with the water bottle provided, as water fountains are closed.

   

​Educational Enrichment Program: Every camper will participate in literacy improvement, physical wellness, and social skills development, while being inspired through active, project-based learning. Campers will engage in activities such as coding with Code.org, exploring virtual reality with CoSpaces, fabricating air racers, elastic band racers, and wind lifts, and building and programming robotics with Vex IQ and Cubelets. They will also showcase their creativity through artistic and musical projects. Additionally, campers will participate in team sports, engage in physical fitness challenges such as obstacle courses, relay races, and fitness circuits designed to promote health and wellness. Furthermore, campers will take part in "go green" activities, including recycling projects, gardening, and environmental conservation initiatives, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the planet.

​​

FIELD TRIPS: Campers will enjoy a variety of exciting off-site field trips to places like Sky Zone, Chuck E. Cheese, Bird Bowling, CB Smith Paradise Cove, Venetian Pool, Miami Roller Rink, and Urban Air. The cost of these field trips is included in the weekly fee. Our on-site field trips are equally fun and engaging, featuring activities such as Paint with Faith, Water Play at the Park, Bounce All Day Inflatable Fun Experience, Game On All Day Gaming Truck Experience, and Bake on Wheels.

We are truly excited to offer the Summer Reading Explorers supplemental reading program once again. Through an agreement with The Children’s Trust, Florida International University, and Knowledge Builders of Florida, Inc., the Summer Reading Explorers supplemental reading services will be available to rising kindergarteners (age five by September 1, 2025), rising first grade students, and struggling second grade summer campers. This means that, in addition to the educational enrichment Knowledge Builders already provides during the summer, rising kindergarten to struggling second grade summer campers will receive small group tutoring (4-5 children) tailored to their ability levels, delivered for 30 minutes per day, 4 days per week, for 6 weeks.

​

Knowledge Builders has also partnered with the Florida Heiken Children's Vision Program to offer comprehensive eye exams and glasses, if necessary, for Florida public school students who qualify. Additionally, we have partnered with Community Health of South Florida to provide free dental exams and cleanings. These programs are available at no cost to you.
