Is Upper Grade Camp right for my 3rd-5th grader?

CDM sets the standard for developmentally appropriate practice, and we want your child to have a best-fit experience. Here are some signs that your child is ready for Upper Grade Camps:

- Your child is enthusiastically curious and can devote their attention to a multi-step process
- Your child is adaptable to new environments, able to express themselves verbally, and able to respond to verbal instruction and redirection
