Camp NorthStar

What’s New in 2024

NorthStar Summer 2024—Re-Imagined! Join us for a summer of exploration, where students will have access to a variety of new offerings, diving deeper into NorthStar’s three core areas: Academics, Adventure and Athletics! This summer, students will have the opportunity to choose from a series of week-long camps to immerse themselves in activities that they are excited to learn more about! Each week of summer programming, there are multiple offerings to meet the needs of all our students, whether your student enjoys playing basketball, doing science experiments, exploring nature, and more!

NORTHSTAR SUMMER – YOUR WAY

We hope that this new modular schedule will allow flexibility for your student to attend their school’s summer learning programs and to select the summer experience here at NorthStar that they want to participate in!

After-School Program

NorthStar’s After-School Program offers educational and social activities to assist students with academic achievement during the school year.  NorthStar Adventure and NorthStar Athletics collaborates with NorthStar Academics to build each student’s capacity for learning a wide range of valuable, transferable life-skills.

Our after school program is tailored to each age range we serve:

Elementary School

NorthStar Academics at the elementary school level (grades 3-5) is focused on transitioning students into middle school on level. Programming for this age range includes aspects of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Additional aspects of programming may include social and emotional development activities and mindfulness practices.

For students needing additional assistance with reaching math and reading goals for their age level, we have a separate space dedicated to one-on-one tutoring and ongoing progress monitoring.

Middle School

NorthStar Academics at the middle school level (grades 6-8) is focused on transitioning students into high school on level and creating pathways to further education or future employment. Programming for this age range includes aspects of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics. Additional aspects of programming at this level may include social and emotional development activities, mindfulness practices and general career or college readiness.

For students needing additional assistance with reaching math and reading goals for their age level, we have a separate space dedicated to one-on-one tutoring and ongoing progress monitoring.

Leaders & Achievers (High School)

NorthStar Academics at the high school level (grades 9-12) is known as the Leaders & Achievers program and is focused on helping students reach graduation on time while also supporting students as they prepare for further education or future employment. Programming at this age range is highly-focused on individualized academic support through credit recovery and one-on-one, subject based tutoring. Additional aspects of programming at this level include social and emotional development activities, mindfulness practices, career awareness or college readiness tours and activities.

There is no cost associated with registering students in grades 9-12 for our high school program, Leaders & Achievers. Because the program is free of charge, continuing participation is contingent on the individual student’s investment of time, effort and positive behaviors. For more information about these opportunities, please contact our Director of Education, Jim Stevens via email or via phone at 402.614.6360 x 207.
