high-quality education integrating Christian faith and learning.
We were busy last summer forming relationships, learning together, and
making memories. We were able to make toy trucks in woodworking,
create a musical in two weeks, cook food from around the world, spend
WLPHŵVKLQJPDNHPRYLHVVHHD6W3DXO6DLQWVJDPHVWXG\FKHVVGHYHORS
various creations in Lego Robotics, read, improve our swimming skills, play
sports, research birds, prepare for Kindergarten and Middle School, and
learn to sail and fence. Like I said, we were busy. We made memories that
will last a lifetime. I can’t wait for Summer 2015... come join us!
Sincerely,

Camp Minnehaha
Camp Minnehaha is designed for students entering PreK through Grade 8. Students are
grouped with other students in similar grade levels, which enables our instructors to choose
topics and plan activities that work best for students in those grades. Instructors guide their
groups through daily devotions and prayer, indoor and outdoor activities, games, and more.
Each group also visits four specialists on a regular basis: art, music, science, and Spanish.

Lower School Enrichment Classes
We invite you to learn a new skill, meet new friends, and get involved!
Check out the following enrichment classes, and let your imagination soar!
Woodworking for Girls
This class is designed for girls interested in
learning the time-honored tradition of
woodworking. In this class, the girls will make
a project using mostly hand tools. We will assist
each to strive for the best they can do, while
EXLOGLQJVNLOODQGFRQŵGHQFHLQWKHLUDELOLW\WR
complete a useful project. Safety is a prime
concern as the students learn and see various
tool operations demonstrated on different
power tools. Some power tools the students
will use will be determined by their own skill
and willingness, only done under close
supervision. They may use tools such as the
drill press, belt sander, spindle sander, and
possibly the band saw. This class is
appropriate for both girls who have taken
woodworking in the past and for those who
have not experienced it yet.

Sailing: Beginning Optimist
and Intermediate Optimist
Take advantage of a beautiful Minneapolis
lake this summer! Students will meet at the
Lower and Middle School and be transported
to and from Lake Calhoun, accompanied by
Minnehaha Academy staff, for the Beginning
Optimist and the Intermediate Optimist class
with Lake Calhoun Sailing School.
In the Beginning Optimist class, beginning
RUOHVVH[SHULHQFHGVDLORUVZLOOOHDUQWRVDLOLQ
8-foot Optimist dinghies (this course can be
repeated). Students will learn how to rig the
boat, basic boat-handling skills, knot-tying, and
water safety. During part of the day, students
will be grouped according to skill level. At the
beginning level, students are paired in boats to
make them feel more comfortable while they
are learning. Lake Calhoun Sailing School
maintains a student-to-instructor ratio of 6-to-1.
In the Intermediate Optimist class, students
who have taken Beginning Optimist at least
once and demonstrated a good comfort level
on the water are able to advance. The chief
difference is that the students will sail one per
boat and be independent skippers, handling
the sail and steering the boat at the same
time. The emphasis will be on improving boat

of wind conditions.
Sailing instruction will take place four days each
week. Students will participate in on-campus
activities on Friday. Students must bring a
Type III, Coast Guard-approved life jacket (also
called a PFD), sunscreen, water shoes, and
a water bottle. Additional information upon

3. I need full-day care. If I sign up for a morning class, what are my options for the afternoon?

4. My student is involved in classes at both campuses. Do I need to transport between campuses?
No. We provide bus transportation between the Lower and Middle School (South Campus) and the Upper
School (North Campus) at the start of the day, at lunchtime, and at the end of the day. A supervised lunch
period will take place at both the campuses. Students should bring a sack lunch (milk is available at Lower
and Middle School). We encourage all PreK through Grade 8 students to be dropped off/picked up at the
Lower and Middle School, so please notify us in writing if you will be dropping off or picking up your students
at the Upper School.

7. Will classes be held Friday, July 3?
No. All of our programs, including Camp Minnehaha, will be closed for the one day.
8. Are changes ever made after the catalog is printed?
Yes. Although we make every effort to print an accurate and complete catalog, changes do occur between
the catalog print date and the beginning of the Summer Programs. Please check our website at Minnehaha
Academy.net for updates. Please also read our policies on Class Changes and Cancellations, Instructor
Changes, and Printing Errors in the Policies and Terms section.
9. Can my students attend Minnehaha Academy Summer Programs if they go to a different school?
Yes! Many students who participate in MA Summer Programs attend other schools during the academic year.
We value the variety of students and families we get to know during the summer. Kindergarten Bound and
SOAR into Middle School are intended for students who attend Minnehaha Academy during the
academic year, but all the other classes are open to students from other schools.
10. How is Minnehaha Academy’s mission of integrating faith and learning expressed in Summer Programs?
Each class will be taught from a Christian perspective and will have a faith component. This integration will
be different in each class, depending on the subject matter and teacher, but it will often include devotions
and prayer. Our students, during the academic year as well as during the summer, come from a variety of
different faith backgrounds. We do not discriminate in our admission policy for the Summer Programs on
the basis of gender, race, ethnic origin, or faith.
11. How do I get to Minnehaha Academy?
