Coleman's Camp

Coleman’s Camp was initiated and developed specifically for Prairie Elementary students in collaboration with Prairie Elementary parents who desired a quality enrichment program that far exceeded the traditional tutoring sessions offered by Mr. Coleman. Coleman’s Camp is structured to be a student-centered, adaptive, and highly engaging environment to deepen student character, intellect, behavior, and peer community.

Vision

Coleman’s Camp is an innovative tutoring and enrichment program utilizing a decade of classroom experience at nearly every grade level as well as training in administration, special education, and research-based practices to create a weekly enrichment and support camp for elementary-aged children.

In Coleman’s Camp, small groups of students meet as a specialized class to study, explore, and interact with their own learning process in highly individualized and personal ways. The two-hour sessions aim towards mastery of grade-level curriculum taught in Shawnee Mission classrooms but also provides a pervasive environment and cross-pollination of wisdom, art, humor, music, and high quality endeavors.
