About This Activity
From the teachers who brought you the Heights Knights Camp comes a new moral imagination camp for 4 to 8 year olds. Heights Heroes Tall Tales Camp is a weeklong exploration of the great heroes of American legend and history such as Davy Crockett, John Henry, Paul Bunyan, and more! Each day we will read stories about a different hero and explore his particular virtues while also learning skills and playing games. Throughout the week the boys will be broken up into groups representing a different hero, and will compete in contests based on the tremendous feats of these great Americans. Campers can look forward to the Stormalong Paper Boat Regatta, the Paul Bunyan Log Roll Race, the John Henry Steel Drive, and much more fun. Each boy will return home at the end of the week with a special Heights Heroes souvenir and t-shirt. Staff: Mr. Kyle Blackmer has been teaching history, literature, and Latin at The Heights for over a decade. He is also the Director of The Heights’s famous Clan Games, a series of festive physical competitions that Heights boys compete in throughout the year. Mr. Alex Hadley teaches middle school English, Latin, and math. Before returning to his Alma Mater at The Heights, Alex taught at Northridge Prep in Chicago where he ran the Northridge edition of the Dangerous Camp for Boys. Mr. Joe Blumenauer is a 6th grade homeroom teacher at The Heights, guiding boys through English, history, science, and math. A graduate of The Heights, Joe returned to the school after teaching for several years in San Antonio. Note: All campers must be at least 4½ years old by the first day of camp.
