KITE summer camp registration is open!
Registration is open at www.kaleidoscopekids.com
K I T E
(Kaleidoscope Institute for Thinking Excellence)
July 27-31, 2026
A one-week full-day advanced program for high ability learners in grades
Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 7
Location: Pike School, 34 Sunset Rock Road, Andover, Massachusetts
KITE 2026 Theme: “MYSTERIES AND MARVELS”
Cost: $550+ Extended Day options available
“Mysteries and Marvels” works beautifully as a theme for high-ability learners because it taps into their natural curiosity and love of big, open-ended questions. It’s broad enough to cover history, scienceu, literature, and creativity, while also giving room for deep dives and hands-on exploration.
WHO SHOULD COME TO KITE?
If your child grasps new concepts quickly and deeply, asks questions that show depth of understanding, often adds that “something extra” to a project, does not require any in-classroom support, seems motivated to explore new ideas, and/or spends time waiting for others to “catch up”... then we highly recommend that you try the KITE program this summer. Please feel free to call us at (978) 494-3978 or email kelsea@kaleidoscopekids.com any time to discuss your child and to determine whether the KITE program would be a good match.
