Elementary & Leadership Summer Camp
School in the Hills presents “Brainstorm Alliance”, a summer camp aimed at eager young minds. Spend your days working on exciting new challenges built on the principles of teamwork and cooperation. This summer, we bring the important message of the relevance of community in our lives and in the classroom, with a variety of innovative programs and activities.
