This innovative summer program takes children on a virtual journey across the United States, featuring 11 different destination-themed weeks that explore Florida, Massachusetts, Illinois, Tennessee, New York, Louisiana, Texas, Arizona, Wyoming, Washington, and California. Each week immerses children in the culture, history, famous sights, cuisine, and national sports of different regions, creating an engaging educational experience that prevents summer learning loss while building elementary school readiness.
The camp employs a multi-sensory learning approach through three distinct activity zones: the “brain zone” for learning-focused activities, the “hand zone” for hands-on exploration, and the “play zone” for play-based learning. Activities range from food and cuisine exploration to geography lessons, storytelling, interactive classroom learning, and destination-specific experiences like exploring the Everglades, visiting virtual theme parks, learning about the Alamo, and discovering Yellowstone. The program also includes homework help for school-age participants and virtual learning support.
Operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Cadence Academy prioritizes safety and quality care with enhanced health protocols and small group sizes. The facility is a four-star accredited preschool and childcare center that has been serving the Lake Norman community since 2001, staffed with certified educators and maintaining low student-to-teacher ratios. The school-age program even offers free transportation to and from local elementary schools, making it a convenient option for working families.
