Academy excited with adventures outside the traditional classroom
Every summer, the Tiger Woods Learning Center in Anaheim, California, welcomes students, ages 11-13, to its annual Summer Academy. During the week-long camp, participants, most of whom are children of military families, explore the world of science, technology, engineering and math through a multitude of student-selected classes. Last week, campers enjoyed hands-on activities such as launching rockets, building robots, dissecting frogs and even visiting Disneyland!
First on the agenda? Rocket launches.

Campers learned more than just the basics of cooking; they learned about food chemistry.
