SBS Academic Camp
As a school, we set out educate the minds of young people in every season, including the summer time. We believe this educating doesnt just take place in a classroom, sitting in front of a desk: there is knoweldge to be found in nature, on the athletic fields, out on the water and numerous other places. Our Junior Brookers embody this philosophy full force. Lovingly called the „JB’s” these lucky campers get to participate in activities that can be associated with all of our different programs offered throguhout the summer. The JB’s will play sports, explore nature presrves and museums, spend time at local beaches, and even build mini rockets. It is an all immersive camp experience, and a great way to expand the minds of our younger campers. In addition, we also offer SAT Preparation for our older crew. The results from this course have been phenominal, and it often serves as the boost many students need to achieve excellence on this important college admission test.
