Welcome
Dear Families,
Welcome to Discover Camp, the only summer camp of its kind in Westchester and possibly the nation. Through my love of hobbies and expertise in education I have created a unique experience for boys and girls. Hobbies can provide many benefits to developing minds and can provide a creative and cognitively stimulating replacement activity to mindless TV watching and video game playing. In addition, children who participate in hobbies develop their problem solving skills, spatial reasoning ability, keep boredom at bay and feed a child’s self confidence.
I have been teaching in Westchester for fifteen years and developing these programs for the last fourteen years. Over this time I have built close relationships with the biggest names in the hobby industry like Tamiya, Kyosho, Estes, Apogee, Trinity, Team Associated, HPI and many others. These relationships allow me to research new products throughout the year to improve existing programs and develop new ones. We are the only camp in the United States that works directly with the hobby manufacturers. This gives us the unique ability to customize and constantly improve our program.
I am pleased that Holy Rosary School has embraced the program and welcomed us back to their school. The school is located in beautiful Hawthorne, NY in Westchester County. The grounds are perfect for our programs. We enjoy large parking lots for RC car racing, fields for rocket launching and model airplane flying and comfortable air conditioned classrooms to escape the summer heat. In addition we have plans this spring to build an off-road race track that will be for the exclusive use of Discover Camp students.
Discover Camp has also been recognized by SMART Technologies, the makers of SMART Boards, as a “promising, innovative program” and has granted us SMART Boards for our classrooms. Besides all of our instructors being NYS certified teachers four of them are recognized as SMART Exemplary Educators.
Discover Camp will promise a new experience for your child that will begin a lifelong love of discovery.
Truly yours,
Mr. Anthony Rich
and Family
