Summer Programs

Our Summer Program goal is to create the best possible camp environment in which children can thrive. We believe camp is a place where they have the opportunity to try new activities, take on new challenges, increase their self-esteem and grow in a safe, nurturing and fun environment. We accomplish this through a dynamic and creative program organized by our warm and caring professional staff. Our staff is what makes our summer program truly unique. All staff members are carefully selected and trained as we set a very high standard for their involvement with our campers.

Cape Cod Academy's camps offer the perfect setting for a range of programs. Our mid-Cape location is accessible to communities on both sides of the canal. Students will benefit from access to extraordinary facilities both inside and out, including two full-court gymnasiums, a range of athletic fields, two playgrounds, art studios, swimming pool, computer and science labs, and more.

    "This is our son's 4th summer with Red Sky Sports Academy. It is by far his favorite camp of the season. It allows him to play the sports that he loves in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and to venture to try new sports, too. Blair and his staff are the key to the camp's success and make it the special place that it is. From the moment my son hops out of the car in the morning and is greeted with a high-five from a counselor, to the moment I pick him up with the dozens of kids and coaches yelling "goodbye," he's made to feel a part of the Red Sky Family. For that I am truly grateful. I'm not sure who loves it more--my son or his parents!" -Kristen

    Tech & Design Exploratory - Elementary
    Back for 2020 and even better than before!  One of our most popular programs and the ideal starting place for many elementary school kids looking to explore technology.  Campers who want to explore all kinds of fun technology, find out what options are available, and realize their areas of greatest passion will have a wide range of options to dive into: Video Game Design, Digital Animation, Stop-Motion Animation, EV3 Robotics, 3D Arts & Printing, 3D Architecture, Digital Audio Production, and Coding/Programming Fundamentals in Scratch and Python.  Campers are encouraged to sample several subjects, dig deeper in areas that excite them, or continue to explore. Campers will create several small projects, such as a digitally-animated movie, a playable video game, or a 3D print of an original creature to take home.

    Grades:2-5
    Level:Beg-Int
    Experience needed: Basic keyboard skills and ability to use a mouse
     

     
    Tech & Design Exploratory - Middle School
    For the first time in 2020, we’ve created a program just for middle-schoolers!  Middle-school aged campers looking to explore a broad range of options or to focus on a particular tech subject will have a opportunity to dive into Video Game Design, Digital Animation, Stop-Motion Animation, EV3 Robotics, 3D Arts & Printing, 3D Architecture, Digital Audio Production, and Coding/Programming Fundamentals in Scratch, Python and Java. Campers are encouraged to explore several options over the first two days, dive deeper in specific areas to tackle more sophisticated projects, or continue to explore their options.  Campers will build and program a robot, produce a stop-motion animated film, design a playable video game, or any number of other tech projects.

    Level:Beg-Int
    Experience needed: Basic keyboard skills and ability to use a mouse


    Minecraft Arts
    Minecraft, one of our most popular programs, isn’t just for video gamers-- it’s for explorers, designers, and builders, too!  New and emerging Minecraft campers interested in visual design, exploring worlds, creating structures, and understanding how mechanisms work will explore the basics of art, architecture, animation, and the patented Redstone circuitry on Minecraft’s Education Edition platform.  Campers will design animated sprites with command blocks, create maps of their unique worlds, and collaborate on a friend’s world. Projects can be taken home as digital files so that kids can keep exploring their worlds after camp has ended.
     
    Grades:2-5
    Level:Beg-Int
    Experience needed: Basic keyboard skills and ability to use a mouse 


    Advanced Minecraft, Middle School
    Up for the next-level challenges, adventures, and cool contraptions of Minecraft, but in the exclusive company of other middle-schoolers?  Right this way… Campers who have graduated from the exploration phase and are ready to dive deeper into the customization functions of the game will examine Minecraft’s patented Redstone circuitry, command blocks, and modding tracks.  They’ll create new sprites using MCreator software, a Rube Goldberg-like mechanism and chain reaction, and a detailed “adventure map” with puzzles and challenges. Campers will take home completed projects (like a mini-game or mechanized fireworks display) and maps to share and re-examine.

    Grades:6-8
