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.
