EXPLORERS:
All Sessions, Co-Ed; Grades 5-8
The Explorers program is a must for active campers who love
the outdoors! Each day campers set out for an exciting adventure
on Long Island. Typical explorations include hiking through
Long Island's state and county parks, biking on the Rocky
Point or Glacier Ridge trails, canoeing the Nissoequogue,
swimming at different beaches, and indoor rock climbing. Explorers
need to bring a suitable mountain bike and helmet on biking
days. A schedule of trips is provided at the start of each
session. Children must bring their own lunch, backpack
and water everyday. $700 ($375 one-week*)
ADVENTURE EXPLORERS:
All Sessions, Co-Ed; Grades 7-10
A more rigorous version of the Explorers Program for the older
or more advanced campers, the Adventurer group will embark
on a 3-day, 2-night camping trip in the tri-state area. The
camp is limited to 12 participants, so register early! Each
Adventure Explorer's skills and abilities will be evaluated
the first two days of the camp to ensure that they can maintain
the more rigorous level of Adventure Explorers. Due to the
off-campus nature of the program, children must bring their
own lunches, backpack and water everyday. Past camping trips
have been: hiking the Lemon Squeeze at Mount Mohonk in the
Shawangunk Mountains, camping in Worthington State Forest
in New Jersey and kayaking the Delaware Water Gap, and most
recently a 30-mile canoe trip down the Delaware Water Gap
where we camped alongside the river. $750 ($410 one-week*)
FUTURE
ENGINEERS OF AMERICA:
Sessions A July 5-July 16
Session B July 19-July 30
Co-Ed, Grades 3-6
Future Engineers of America (FEA) is an exciting,
hands-on science program filled with adventure, exploration,
and skill development. Utilizing The Stony Brook School's
science and computer labs, along with trips to Long Island
science education sites, FEA involves young learners in a
range of fun activities that instill a desire to explore science
and technology as a creative part of their life. Included
are aviation and rocketry projects, physical science experiments,
engineering challenge-contests, and initial computer training
such as web research. The weekly schedule rotates each day
so participants experience a range of other activities that
include outdoor games, life-value discussions, and an exciting
field trip in addition to their science activities. $715
($385 one-week*)
ADVANCED
FUTURE ENGINEERS OF AMERICA:
Sessions A July 5-July 16
Session B July 19-July 30
Co-Ed, Grades 6-10
Advanced FEA builds on the science foundation that FEA established
and takes enrollees to higher levels of technological development.
More advanced building and programming of robots as well as
leading-edge advances in science and medicine will be explored.
The program also introduces the study of alternative energies
- solar, wind and water - and the fundamental scientific concepts
behind these technologies. Computer skills with media technologies
will be introduced to and used by the students for presentations.
Participants will also travel to field trip sites that relate
to the projects that they are working on. Sensitive to student
interest and past experience, instructors will guide the design
of advanced projects to maximize student input and creativity.
Balancing the day are stewardship and worldview discussions
and active team-building challenges that develop leadership
skills and instill a positive group spirit. $750 ($400
one-week*)
JUNIOR
BROOKERS: All
Sessions, Co-Ed; Grades 1-5
JJunior Brookers is a co-ed introductory program that combines
physical, social, and academic growth to prepare young people
for elementary and middle school. Under the guidance of mature,
experienced instructors, participants are involved in fun,
educational activities that encourage positive life values
and healthy new creative endeavors to explore. Age-appropriate
activities include interaction with live marine and forest
animals, fun science and technology projects, and introductions
to sailing, canoeing and a range of sports/game activities.
Pool swimming this summer will be changed to beach swimming.
The group will go on at least one field trip each week. Junior
Brookers is the ideal introduction to all of the other summer
and academic year programs offered by The Stony Brook School.

1 hour before the program day starts and/or 1-2 hours at the
end. Tutorial is individually tailored to each child's needs
based on both the tutor's assessment and parental input. Specializing
in the review, reinforcement, and development of reading,
math, and writing skills, tutorial can also benefit ELA and
NYS testing results. All materials are provided but the student
may bring in a particular textbook if assistance with it is
desired. Weekly updates will be provided to parents. Two week
session rates are $250 for 10 one-hour per day tutorials,
$450 for 10 two-hours per day tutorials, and $600
