4 BUILDING BOLDNESS At JEI, we want our campers to face the world head on. With Study Skills and Public Speaking, children develop the skills they need to confidently participate in class, manage their workload, and become avid learners, inside and outside the classroom. Study Skills arms students with the tools for effective time management, note-taking, studying, and test-taking, while our unique Public Speaking curriculum builds strong speakers, who can give a speech or engage in class debate with ease.

5 INSPIRING CREATIVITY With activities like drama, arts and crafts, chess, and book club, we encourage campers to express themselves creatively. Our afternoon activities complement the academic curricula and foster strong teamwork skills. During Chess Club, teachers introduce campers to key game principles and then they re off, from beginner challenges to advanced competitions! Their strong Public Speaking skills help set the stage for a daring Drama Team, which puts on a play at the end of the summer. Last year, while Princesses and Knights rehearsed their lines, our Arts and Crafts team built castles, made swords and shields, and designed costumes for the whole cast. On field trips, campers and counselors alike explore and experiment with new ideas and exhibits! Arts & Crafts Drama Book Club Trips 5
