School Break Camps: When Schools Are Closed, We Are Open

School breaks are a welcome opportunity for kids to take a break from the classroom. But for working parents, they can also create a familiar challenge: What will the kids do while school is closed?

The Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County (PAL) has an answer: School Break Camp! Designed to provide a safe, active, and enriching environment for children, PAL’s School Break Camps keep kids engaged when school is out while giving parents peace of mind.

Two Great Options for School Breaks

When school is out, PAL gives families two great options to keep kids active, engaged, and having fun: School Break Camp and Future Force STEM & Trades Discovery School Break Camp.

School Break Camp is designed for kids who enjoy a variety of activities and want a little bit of everything. Campers can stay active with sports and games, get creative with arts and crafts, explore STEM activities, enjoy indoor and outdoor recreation, and make new friends in a safe, supervised environment. It’s a great choice for children who enjoy trying different activities throughout the day.

For kids who are especially interested in science, technology, engineering, and math, Future Force STEM & Trades Discovery School Break Camp offers a more STEM and trades discovery-focused experience. Campers can spend their break building, coding, experimenting, and solving hands-on challenges. It’s an opportunity to explore technology and engineering while developing creativity, problem-solving, teamwork, and critical-thinking skills.

Whether your child wants an action-packed day filled with a variety of activities or would rather spend their break building and exploring through STEM and trades Discovery, PAL has an option to fit their interests.

A Safe Place for Kids

Parents want to know that their children are in a safe and supportive environment when they’re away from school. PAL’s dedicated counselors and instructors provide supervision while helping campers make the most of their time at camp.

PAL’s large Egg Harbor Township campus offers plenty of space and facilities for activities, including indoor and outdoor recreation areas. The organization serves thousands of children throughout South Jersey. It has built its mission around providing educational, social, and athletic opportunities for local youth.

When Schools are Closed, PAL Is Open

School Break Camps are available during breaks throughout the school year, including Fall Break, Winter Break, and Spring Break. Families can register for a single day, multiple days, or a full week, making it easier to find an option that works with their schedule.

So the next time a school break appears on the calendar, don’t worry about finding something for your child to do. Let PAL turn a day off from school into a day filled with fun, friendship, learning, and new experiences.

When schools are closed, PAL is open! Visit EHTPAL.org to learn more about School Break Camps and register your child.

How Hands-On STEM Discovery Prepares Students for Future Careers

The careers of tomorrow will require more than memorizing facts and passing tests. Students will need to know how to solve problems, work as part of a team, adapt to new technology, and turn ideas into real solutions. That’s why hands-on STEM and Trades discovery is so valuable.

At the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County (PAL), students have opportunities to do more than learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. They get to build, code, design, test, troubleshoot, and create.

Discovery by Doing

Hands-on projects allow students to experience the process of solving real problems. Instead of simply reading about engineering or robotics, PAL students can actually design and build projects, program robots, experiment with 3D printing, explore drones, and work with electronics.

PAL’s Future Force STEM and Trades Discovery workshops, clubs, teams and camps include the use of Gobilda, LEGO robotics, Minecraft coding, Mindstorms EV3, smart cars and robots, DIY drones, and more. Students learn through a process of designing, building, testing, improving, and trying again.

That process facilitates an important lesson that applies to virtually every career: failure is part of discovery and growth. When a robot doesn’t move as expected or a design doesn’t work, students have to figure out why, make adjustments, and try again.

Skills That Go Beyond STEM

The benefits of hands-on STEM learning extend well beyond technical knowledge. Students develop communication, teamwork, critical thinking, creativity, leadership, and problem-solving skills.

These are skills that employers across a wide range of industries value. Whether a student eventually pursues business, engineering, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, environmental science, skilled trades,media, aviation, or another field, the ability to approach a challenge and develop a solution can make a difference.

PAL’s more advanced programs take this learning even further. Students in the Future Force STEM & Trades Discovery programs can explore engineering, robotics, 3D printing, drones, EV go-karts, reverse engineering, and other real-world applications. PAL’s Engineering Club also gives students the opportunity to work with mentors and industry leaders on advanced projects.

Preparing for What’s Next

A student’s future career may not even exist in its current form yet. Giving young people opportunities to experiment with technology, explore different fields, and build confidence in their ability to solve problems helps prepare them for an ever-changing world.

At PAL, we aren’t just about building robots. It’s about building the skills, confidence, curiosity, and experience students need for whatever comes next.
