We’ve broken up the summer into 9 one-week periods, called “sessions”. The dates of each session are as follows:

Session 1: June 17 - June 21

Session 2: June 24 - June 28

Session 3: July 1 - July 5*

Session 4: July 8 - July 12*

Session 5: July 15 - July 19*

Session 6: July 22 - July 26*

Session 7: July 29 - Aug 2

Session 8: Aug 5 - Aug 9

Session 9: Aug 12 - Aug 16

*Please note: Sessions 3-6 are reserved for custom workshops only. Sessions 1-2 & 7-9 are open enrollment.

Camp Curious welcomes students in grades 3-12! We break our workshops down into three groups based on grade level. Lower School: Grades 3 & 4

Of course! We welcome your child and their friends to Camp Curious. However, because spots fill up fast, we cannot guarantee your child and their friends will all be able to attend the same workshop. For this reason, we suggest customizing a workshop for your child and friends to ensure the group learns together.

Each workshop is one week (5 days) long and meets for 90 minutes per day.

To make the most of their Camp Curious experience, lower school (3rd & 4th grade) students should expect to spend about 20-35 minutes working outside of their designated 90-minute meeting times. Middle school (5th-8th grade) students should anticipate about 30-45 minutes of independent work, while the time for high schoolers (9th-12th grade) may vary.

Materials are not included in the price of workshops. If supplies are necessary for your child’s workshop, you will be notified at least 1 month prior to the start of the session.

Nope! You can enroll your child in any open workshop, as many as you’d like.

Workshops for Lower School students are 3-6 students. Middle and High School workshops are comprised of 3-8 students.

Curious Cardinals mentors are the brightest, most accomplished college students from top universities across the United States and beyond. They’re the class presidents, the winners of awards, the Fulbright and Rhodes Scholars. Each mentor has been heavily vetted, trained, and backed by our world-class education team. Mentors are experts in the subject matter they’re teaching. To learn more about our mentors, visit curiouscardinals.com.

Workshops are priced at $575 per 1-week session. Custom workshops are available for $3,850 (cost can be split between families however you see fit).

We highly recommend registering before March 20th, 2024, to take advantage of early bird savings! One-week sessions for early sign-ups are $425 for open workshops and $2,550 for custom workshops.

We offer morning (9am - 12pm PST) or afternoon (12pm - 3pm PST) sessions for workshops. The time will be noted on the workshop’s listing. If the times for the workshop your child is interested in don’t work for their schedule, consider designing a custom workshop!

All open enrollment workshops are virtual, allowing us to connect new and old friends from around the world.

Enrollment opens on February 12, 2024. We will accept students until workshops are full, up to one week before the start date of the individual workshop. Custom workshops must be arranged at least 6 weeks in advance.

To take advantage of early bird registration prices, please sign up by March 20th, 2024.

Creating a custom workshop is a summer breeze! Gather up a group of your child’s pals and choose a topic they’re passionate about, the session/week that fits your schedule, and an ideal mentor. (If you’re unsure, we’ll select a mentor.)

Custom workshops are priced at a fixed rate, which can be split however you wish among the group’s parents (host parent pays all, each parent pays a part, etc.)

You can customize a workshop during any of Camp Curious’ 10 sessions, but we’ve reserved sessions 3-6 exclusively for custom workshops.

Curious Cardinals is a 1:1 near-peer mentorship platform for K-12 students, founded by Audrey Wisch and Alec Katz (Forbes 30 Under 30), as an answer to the lack of engagement they noticed in students in traditional education environments. We believe curiosity is the heart of innovation, discovery, and confidence, and that near-peer mentorship is the key to unlocking kids’ passions, re-discovering their natural curiosity, and uncovering their full potential. For us, curiosity isn’t a buzzword — it’s the heart of everything we do.
