Classes offered include Spy Academy, Radical Robots, Building Balsa Wood Bridges, Passport To…, Hands-On Art, Learn Español and more.
In celebration of New Harmony’s recent bicentennial, a special weeklong, multi-disciplinary course (Bugs, Shells and Pottery: 201 Years of New Harmony Science and Art) will be held June 15-19 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A limited number of students in grades 6-8 will spend five full days in New Harmony engaging in activities focused on entomology, architecture, geology, pottery and more. Transportation will be provided and students should bring a non-perishable lunch, water bottle, hat, sunscreen and bug spray.
Registration is $90 for each course or $85 per course when registering the same child in more than one class or when registering two or more children at the same time. The New Harmony course is $130 and includes transportation from USI to New Harmony.
Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation students, who are eligible for the free and reduced lunch program, may enroll in two courses for a reduced fee of $10. Reduced-fee enrollments are limited and do not apply to the New Harmony class.
