Join in the fun at SUMMER JAVPAAK at Highland Middle School on Monday, June 6 to Friday, June 10. Summer JAVPAAK is offering a week of fun-filled, action-packed, non-stop activity for kindergarten to ninth-grade students. The camp is divided into camps for grades K-3 and 4-9.

Summer JAVPAAK also provides opportunities for children to learn valuable skills and make new friends through activities that are challenging, educational, rewarding and fun. Campers will participate in sessions featuring Star Wars Jedi Training, Makey Makey Inventions, Minecraft Coding, Extreme-dodgeball, 3-D Creations, Knockerballs, Marshmallow Gun Mania, Tye Dye, Icing on the Cookie, Jumpy House Obstacle Course, Parachute, Planks, and much more.

JAVPAAK 2016 also offers exciting field trips for both camps.

K-3 students will go bowling in Highland and play laser tag and arcade games at Edison’s in Edwardsville.

The grades 4-9 students will go to the EDGE Laser Tag/Theatre in Belleville and to the Korte Recreation Center Pool. The day of the Highland pool, campers will compete in a water gun war and maybe even be sprayed by the Highland Fire Department.
