Countless researchers and studies have shown over time that chess does indeed strengthen a child's mental clarity, fortitude, stability and overall health. Our Chess Component will challenge campers to become analytical and motivated problem solvers. It is our goal to utilize the game of chess to teach our campers about sportsmanship - how to win graciously and not give up when encountering defeat.
Theater can be a terrific medium for keeping children active and healthy. It can boost self-esteem, improve public speaking and provide a place to practice creativity. The Theater Arts Component of Bridge Builder Camp is performance based, therefore, students are mobile during most of the class interacting with each other through artistic activities and games.
