Hi Rebecca,
Would you please forward this information attached to your ODE TAG list serve.  We still have openings in our TAG camp and folks can register online at www.saturdayacademy.org<http://www.saturdayacademy.org>  Thank you.

TAG Challenge Camp: Our Place in the Universe
This year we are going big (and very tiny) as we explore our place in the universe. Universal themes will be integrated into all areas of curriculum, allowing students to investigate our world through different perspectives. We'll examine the origins of life, peer into outer space, navigate the solar system, delve into the past and predict the future. Collaborative thinking will be emphasized in a multi-disciplinary approach to challenge students on a variety of levels. Students choose three courses from a variety of offerings in the academic areas of math, science and engineering, and language and creative arts.  TAG Camp classes are designed to provide the academic challenges that TAG students need in order to thrive. Advanced subject matter taught by experts will promote in-depth exploration, active inquiry, and hands-on participation by students. In addition to academically rigorous classes, a variety of challenging games and activities will be offered, creating opportunities for peer interaction and an enhanced learning experience. Special registration form required. Please visit our website or call our office at 503-200-5858.
