Additionally, they will get to bring home two of their 3D creations. Printing and material fees are included.

Design your own 3D pocket monster using TinkerCAD. Create your own Pokémon-inspired 3D designs and experiment with TinkerCAD’s SimLab.

AKA Archery is a featured program in the AKASPORT Outdoors Division. We want kids to understand that there is more to active life and sport than traditional sports, and through Archery, we have witnessed the passion and excitement for sport by way of bow and arrow. Each day kids will learn the safety, technique and fun in the sport that dates back hundreds of years ago. And along with the Archery unit, campers will get the opportunity to geo-cache, build forts, play frisbee games and more. AKASPORT is all about getting these kids to enjoy the great outdoors!

Learn the basics of identifying and appraising antiques, art, jewelry, coins, and collectibles. Get tips on what makes things valuable and the best ways to sell them. Examine things like lithophane, trench art, U.S. Zone china, a U.S. 3 cent nickel, precious gemstones, mourning jewelry & German silver. No pictures or books in this class, everything is “hands on." Bring one item, no larger than a shoe box to the first class. You will then research its value on your own with the research tools you've been given, then compare your results with the appraiser's at the second class. Bring a magnifying glass if you have one. Instructor David Schlueter is a Certified Antique Appraiser.
