The Summerfest 2013 program
seeks to follow in the FAIS tradition of providing outstanding learning
experiences for students. It is focused on creating
unique and innovative opportunities in areas of learning that are fundamental
to overall student development including:
- Visual
and Performing Arts
- Physical
Fitness and Performance
- Life
Skills
- Trips
and Excursions
In designing the FAIS Summerfest
2013 program, outstanding
teachers were asked to create their “dream” workshops and trip experiences in
areas they are passionate about and in which they excel. Working within these trips
and week-long workshops, students will have the opportunity to
successfully explore areas of interest in greater depth, developing key skills
and new talents while enjoying the process of discovery.
Workshops are scheduled in either
a full day or half day
format. Full day workshops begin at 9 a.m. and
continue until 4 p.m., with an hour break for lunch and recess. In half day workshops, the morning class
begins at 9 a.m. and finishes at 12 p.m., with
the afternoon session beginning at 1 p.m. and finishing at 4 p.m. The different time frames were created
to best accommodate the goals of the individual classes.
This summer we are also offering a great trip: Adventure Palooza - three days of white
water river rafting and camping along the Deschutes River July 8 - 11.
