From Dinosaur Science to Website Design: Summer at Rivermont Has It All!

By Brittany Marrietta

Summer at Rivermont is now accepting registrations! Enrichment courses are open to the entire Quad City community. Over 65 week-long courses are offered beginning June 16 for preschool through 8th grade. Students have the option of attending morning, afternoon, or the entire day.

Rivermont's fabulous course selection is available 7 weeks of the summer. Join us for 1 class or register for the entire summer. Summer Discovery (PreSchool - 3rd Grade) provides unique, hands-on experiences for young campers to keep their minds engaged in reading, writing, reasoning, questioning, mathematic processing, and scientific thinking. Summer Academy (4th-8th Grade) has a strong academic focus and challenges older campers with progressive activities in science, technology, math, and art.

Popular classes include Dr. Seuss, Junior Engineers, French Connection, LEGO Robotics, Movie Makers, Computer Construction, Digital Photo Phrenzy, and Screen Printing Extravaganza. In addition, this year Rivermont has partnered with River Music Experience (RME) Rock Camp USA, which will be offered on our campus. Don't delay - courses will fill up!

Courses will be held on the Rivermont campus, located directly off 18th Street behind K&K Hardware in Bettendorf. The entire catalog may be viewed online at www.RivermontCollegiate.org.
