We could not call this incredible 32nd summer complete without you! From the bottom of our hearts, 💙 THANK YOU 💙 for joining us. Nothing will hold us back from fulfilling our mission to make a difference in the lives of gifted children - our life's work for three decades. We are so grateful to be able to contribute to your Scholar's education in the formation of tomorrow's leaders.

Our profound gratitude as well goes to DeBusk Foundation for its leading financial support to make our program possible, as well as to our host sites and staffs at Incarnate Word Academy, Strake Jesuit College Preparatory and St. Anne Catholic School - Tomball .

Our rodeo for this summer may be complete, but the fun isn't over yet: stay tuned for a full round-up of professional photos from all three sites and other updates from us. We'll see you in 2027!

🏴‍☠️ Batten down the hatches! “A Pirate’s Life for Me” turns Scholars into shipwright-engineers! They design foil boats that survive “storm rounds,” test which materials truly waterproof a treasure chest, and harness air as a force to race ships across the water. Then they craft legendary treasure, draw maps with one cleverly misleading clue, and send rival crews on a campus-wide hunt against the clock. 🗺️

💎 Tiny gems, dazzling results: welcome to “Dazzling Design”! Scholars place sparkling resin “diamonds” onto canvases to build vibrant, eye-catching art. As they work, they explore how pattern, shading, and color combinations make an image pop. Re-creating a masterpiece or inventing their own, they turn tiny gems into treasured works of art. ✨

🌀 Marble mazes look simple until you build one! In “A-maze-ing,” Scholars run the full engineering design process to craft mazes from paper plates to pegboards, mastering junctions, dead ends, and braid paths along the way. They tackle a $30 budget challenge, then test how slope, ramp length, and friction change a marble’s speed. The grand finale is a storyboard maze where players must collect three hidden items before reaching the exit. 🔵

🤝 First impressions matter, and “Manners” gives Scholars the skills to nail them! Working in crews, they master the perfect handshake, smooth introductions, and the genuine art of small talk, advancing from novice to master together as a team. The grand finale: a rousing round of Manners Jeopardy followed by a real dining challenge featuring tricky-to-eat foods like pasta and soup. 🍝

⚡ We called all wizards, and boy did they assemble! “Hello, Hogwarts” trades Muggle life for magic. From the moment they arrive, Scholars become students of the wizarding world, exploring extraordinary classes like Potions, Charms, and Care of Magical Creatures. They craft their own wands, dream up Hogwarts floor plans, and bring the castle to life! 🧙
