The camp day is broken up into a variety of exciting activities, both on and off-screen, and includes structured break times (see below for more).
Schedule: 9am – 4pm (3pm at select locations), M – F, Weeklong Camps, all summer long
Locations: Encino, Santa Monica/West L.A., Westwood, West Hollywood, and Irvine
Daily Schedule:
Discovery Launch – We will always start the day with an intro period in which we introduce the objectives for the day and demo what the final outcome might look like. Campers will then be led by the instructor using our dialogue format in which our instructors have students actively participate in discovering how to reach the objective by asking questions throughout rather than simply lecturing.
Let’s Move It… Outside – This will be the 1st of three break periods during the camp day in which we will lead the students in STEM themed fun activities outside. For one of many examples, think of Simon says, but with a robot giving orders and using coding concepts such as loops and conditionals.
Innovation Hour – Campers will continue working on their projects and the instructor will introduce challenges that will require students to get their innovative caps on to be able to complete.
Let’s Get Physical… Outside – This will be the 2nd of three break periods during the camp day in which we will lead the campers in STEM themed fun activities outside.
Ideation & Iteration – Campers will wrap up the day’s objectives and will now get to customize their projects as well as come up with ideas on how to make their project unique.
Golden Hour Giggles (Outside) – In the 3rd break of the day, students will have fun outside. In this period, we tend to focus more on team-building activities rather than very physical activities although there is a mix of that as well.
Buddy Up & Brainstorm – Campers will buddy up to see and experience each other’s projects. If students made digital art, the partner will get to run the code and ask questions about how this was created. If students made a game, their partner can play and test the game. Together, they can brainstorm more ways to customize and add to this project.
Project Landing – In the last period of the day, campers will wrap up the day with a recap of the day’s objectives and key concepts and ideas for the next day of camp.

This summer, Notre Dame Academy invites students to explore, create, and innovate through our dynamic Summer Studio experience. Led by NDA’s nationally recognized innovation educators, Dr. Navarro, Mr. Rayfield, Mr. Verdugo, and Mr. G, students will engage in hands-on, future-focused learning designed to spark curiosity and build confidence.
Our Junior Discovery Studio(Rising 1st–2nd Grade) encourages young learners to tinker, design, and explore through playful problem-solving and collaborative projects. The Innovators Studio (Rising 3rd–5th Grade) challenges students to think critically as they prototype, experiment, and bring big ideas to life. For middle schoolers, our Coding Studio (Rising 6th–8th Grade) dives into programming, digital design, and real-world tech applications in a supportive, creative environment.
Each studio blends creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork—hallmarks of the NDA approach. Whether building, coding, designing, or discovering, students will leave Summer Studio inspired, empowered, and ready for what’s next. Join us for a summer of imagination and innovation at NDA!
