March 31-April 3 is Intersession Week in Aiken County Public Schools, an opportunity made possible by the modified academic calendar. District educators will offer intensive support to elementary, middle and high school students during Spring Intersession, as well as a limited number of slots available to students interested in  programs for academic acceleration. 

Students have been identified for Intersession based on academic need, unit recovery, and/or attendance/time recovery and encouraged to enroll. This opportunity is being offered at no cost to identified students or their families and is designed as a way to address areas of academic need and support students’ success in a course and overall achievement in an individualized and/or small group setting. 

In addition to the offering for students identified for intensive support during Intersession, a limited number of spots are also available in programs offered during Intersession for academic acceleration, including a Coding Camp (grades 3-5) as well as a Fine Arts opportunity (grades 6-8).

During this year's Fine Arts Camp, Lego Wars, middle school students will be immersed in creativity, the engineering design process, and project design while developing architectural skills to build a strong Lego structure. Fine Arts Camp is being held at Highland Springs Middle, from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m.

Registration opens Monday, March 3, at 6 p.m. for the the Lego Wars Fine Arts Camp for middle school students and is offered on a first come-first served basis.

Coding Camp is being held at Aiken Elementary, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. and will allow students to explore coding and programming through various platforms, such as drones and 3D printing, Robots, and Makey Makey in real-world problem simulations. 

Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day of camp, Monday-Thursday, March 31-April 3, however students’ families will be responsible for their own transportation to and from the Coding Camp housed at Aiken Elementary and Fine Arts offering at Highland Springs Middle.
