A Summer Well Spent

The High School's 2012 Afterschool Program will run from 3:00 - 5:30 p.m. during the new four-week format (July 8 - August 3, 2012). These exciting programs build confidence, peer support, and personal skills. They are open to day students for an additional fee. Students may choose one of the following programs:

Audio/Video Production

This summer, produce your own short film at Landmark. This program offers an introduction to the methods used to create a comprehensive short film. Learn about film formulas, script writing, storyboards, music production, and sound engineering. Use the latest technology to enhance and edit your product. Students will work in groups and participate as members of the audio/video crew as well as the on-screen actors. This is a great cooperative and experiential activity for students.

Digital Photography

Students will explore various modalities of taking photographs digitally. The course will focus on the art form of photography from composition and juxtaposition as well as the technicalities of this craft. The class will use the rambling Landmark campus and selected locations on the North Shore as their studio and will produce a final show of their most noteworthy work at the end of the course.

Health & Fitness Training

Students involved in the Health and Fitness Training program will not only become members at a local gym, but also work with a health-conscious Landmark-trained teacher to strategize appropriate, healthy lifestyle choices. Students may use this program to prepare themselves for upcoming athletic seasons, or to simply create and advance their personal fitness goals. This program insures that participants will explore the most effective ways to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Marine Science

Spend your afternoons exploring the seashore and a wide variety of marine life while relaxing with new friends. Landmark’s Marine Science program is designed to provide discovery through field activities where participants get their hands and feet wet, and learn by doing. Students will investigate a range of local environments including rocky shores, salt marshes and sandy beaches through snorkeling and shoreline exploration. The class will also visit sites of maritime historic interest. To become actively involved in the spirit of marine studies, students should feel comfortable in and around water, but do not need to be strong swimmers. Students should have (or plan to purchase upon arrival at school), a mask, snorkel, and fins.

Sea Kayaking

Take advantage of the North Shore's beautiful coastline with daily guided kayak tours out of Gloucester Harbor. Students will learn from the professionally certified staff at Discovery Adventures and will be additionally supported and encouraged by a Landmark staff member with years of kayaking experience. Students will investigate a range of local kayaking destinations while gaining valuable teambuilding experience. The program aims to help students gain a love of the ocean and its challenges, while fostering a safe environment for students to create friendships through trust and communication. Students should feel comfortable in and around water, but do not need to have kayaking experience.

Visual Arts

Express your creativity through the visual arts. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of art media in depth. This program will include both 2D and 3D media such as drawing and painting, digital photography, and ceramics. This is an excellent opportunity for both beginning art students and those interested in pursuing art beyond high school.
