Have you got curious children? Are they rising into the first through the ninth grade in the Fall of 2026?

We are thrilled to begin our fifth year of using Destination Imagination® (DI) as the framework for our summer programs. DI teaches students the creative thinking process. The DI activities are grouped into team challenges and instant challenges. When students learn the creative thinking process, they learn to ask better questions and learn to work collaboratively in groups to synthesize solutions to the Destination Imagination challenges.

Students learn that failures are an important part of learning. DI is a true STEAM program.
