Summer Camps Camps held at Charlie Daniels Park and are hosted by third-party organizations in partnership with the

City of Mt. Juliet: Parks & Recreation Department. Various programs throughout June & July. Visit

www.MJParksandRec.org for all the info.

Camp Brick

At Camp Brick your child will learn basic LEGO® building tech-

niques that will stimulate creativity and imagination. Each day for a

week your child will have access to hundreds of different LEGO®

sets. Campers will have the ability to build hundreds of LEGO® sets

with instructions or just be creative and build their own designs

and ideas. While at camp your child will learn hands on techniques

that will allow them to become creative thinkers, problem solvers, and effectively work in

organized team activities.

Mr. Bond and the Science Guys

Mr. Bond and the Science guys have over 20 years of experience making

science fun for kids. Spend the summer learning about explosions, bubbling

potions, chemical reactions at Crazy Chemistry Camp. Space camp has the kids launching rockets, building eggstronaut reentry craft and learning about life on a spaceship. Fun with Physics is where kids discover why things move: explosions, air pressure, gravity, electricity, magnetism, centrifugal force, friction, inertia, momentum, and forces of nature...We will make Newton proud. Or spend a week building different robots to take home while learn-ing about locomotion, circuitry, and programming at Robot Camp.

Nashville Leaning Center

Do you have a child who needs a little extra help with schoolwork? Or do

you want your child to get ahead of the curve? If you want your child to

catch up or get ahead, give Nashville Learning Center a call! We have a

team of child education professionals, each with more than a decade of

experience. We cover all grade school subjects, from science and math to

language and arts.

TK’s Summer Camp
