Discovery Star Chart :
To encourage students at the summer camp to become more independent and to begin to think about managing their belongings and how they approach new activities and new experiences, we used to earn your Star Chart. An award system that encourages students to work together and be more confident throughout their time with us to collect stars for their team. It is a fun way to encourage good behaviour and a good attitude, especially for our youngest summer campers.
