Welcome to Your Summer at HMS!

Hello Future HMS Summer Friends and Families!

 We are excited to have you join us this summer. We
 look forward to meeting you and your family in the
 months and weeks ahead as we aim to provide you
 with the most enriching and positive summer
experience yet! To those returning families, welcome
back! We will also be offering parent-student camps
 as well that we are excited to offer.

Camp Explore is now moving into its third year. It will
 endeavor to discover Northeast Ohio while enjoying
 traditional camp activities like kayaking each week.
Each weekly theme will unlock the rich history of our
 surrounding area as students learn about the area
 they call home.

 In our Enrichment Camps, you can pick individual
 sessions to explore new possibilities and broaden
 your child’s horizons. In the Create-Your-Day
 program, you can design your daily or weekly
schedule with as much flexibility and creativity as you
 need for your family for Ages 3 and Above. We also
offer Activity and Movement Camps that help build
 athletic and physical skills in a fun, supportive
 environment.

This summer, camp will begin on June 12. On June 5 -
 9, we will be setting up the rooms for the summer
 camps, conducting summer staff orientation, and
 attending end of school year meetings. We hope to
better serve you with the additional preparation that
week provides us as we transition from the academic
 year to the summertime.

Summer is a time for children to explore, create and
discover; a time for them to make new friends and to
 reconnect with old ones. We realize that there is a
 wide selection of summer opportunities for your
 child, and we are honored that you are considering
 our programs.

 Best,
 Tim McQuait
 Director of Auxiliary Programs

Camp Explore! — Weekly Themes

 Industrialists & Innovators
 June 26 - 30
 Many of history’s most famous men and women have
called Ohio home at one point or another. From the
many presidents and first ladies to pillars of industry
and innovation, Ohio is often the birthplace of
enterprise. We will explore historical figures such as
John D. Rockefeller (Rocky River), Frank Sieberling
(Akron), and Thomas Edison (Milan). In addition, we
will also talk about Jerrie Mock (Newark) the first
woman to fly around the world solo and Judy Resnik
(Akron) the second woman in space. In addition to
learning about the people individually, we will also Dignity of All People
visit local sites to learn more about Ohio’s many
contributions to industry and progress. July 6 - 7
 In this two-day session in Camp Explore, following
 the Independence Day holiday, we will examine the
 abolition movement and how it made everyone free.
 We will learn about the leaders of the movement in
 this area. Hudson often found itself at the center of
 abolition leading up to the Civil War, serving as an
 important stop on the Underground Railroad. We will
 partake on a tour of the stops in downtown Hudson
 while also exploring the role citizens of Hudson
 played, like John Brown and his friend Frederick
 Douglass. In addition, we will also talk about the the

 Ohio’s People and Culture
 role Ohioans played in the Civil Rights Movement
 and beyond.
 July 10 - 14 Cost is $175 for shortend 2-day camp week.
 Ohio is composed of many different cultures and
peoples. From the Native Americans, pioneers, and
immigrants, Ohio has been shaped, and continues to
be molded, by its everchanging diversity. This week,
we will explore ways many people and cultures
contributed to our state and our local area. We plan to
visit such historical sites like Western Reserve’s
Historical Society’s Hale Farm and Village. In addition,
we will also explore local cuisine at a local restaurant
as Northeast Ohio has a very diverse culinary offering
as well, due to the many influences the area has had
over the centuries. Since half of the USA’s population
is within 500 miles of Columbus, cultural ties abound
all over Ohio

Camp Explore! — Weekly Themes

 Ohio’s Parks and Rec
 July 17 - 21
 Ohio has always had a strong love of sports and
 recreation. We will explore the Cuyahoga Valley
 National Park, Ohio’s only national park, which is
 an environmental success story that took place in
 our own backyard. In addition, we will partake in
 other local sports attractions, like the the Pro
 Football Hall of Fame and catching an early
 afternoon baseball game at the Akron
 Rubberducks’ Canal Park. We will also explore
 other popular pastimes in Ohio, including ones
 beyond just mainstream sports.
 Music and Arts Exploration
 July 24 - 28
 In addition to being a hub of technology and
industry, Ohio also has a rich background in the
performing arts. Many are mainstays in local and
national conversations, such as our renown
orchestras and symphonies, along with celebrated
muesums. We will be sure to visit muesums this
week along with trying to schedule a visit to the
Cleveland Orchestra’s Severance Hall or Blossom
Music Center. In addition, we will look at how art
mediums can shape local and national discourse
and how we can use it to communicate with
others. We will be working alongside local artisians
as we explore various mediums.
