A HIGH-FLYING SUMMER EXPERIENCE

Future Stars Drone Adventure Camp is an exciting STEAM program where campers explore the science and technology of flight through hands-on drone activities, from piloting and coding to obstacle course challenges.

Campers learn flight principles, navigation, and autonomous drone programming while testing their skills in challenges they help design. They also gain an understanding of aviation roles, including tower control, spotters, and mechanics, fostering teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

Programs take place in modern classrooms and computer labs with all necessary equipment provided. Recreational games and water park activities balance each day, offering a fun mix of learning, adventure, and flight.

Carol’s mission as an educator is to inspire her students each and every day to innovate and develop solutions to the challenges we face on a daily basis. To that end, Carol can’t wait to work with and have fun with our future scientists, engineers, coders and detectives this summer!

Carol is a distinguished educator of nearly thirty years. She has performed a variety of roles in the East Islip School District as a teacher of 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade. Most recently, Carol helped the East Islip School District to pioneer their S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) program, where she teaches students in grades 3-5 to create, design, and communicate in teams to solve everyday problems.

Carol holds an M.A. in Reading and Special Education from Dowling College, as well as a B.A. in Elementary Education and Spanish from Clemson University. She also holds an SBL degree in administration and is currently a supervisor of student teachers at St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue.

Carol was the head varsity volleyball coach at East Islip between 1994-2001, leading the Redmen to multiple Section XI playoff appearances, with teams consisting of athletes who would go on to compete at the college level in NCAA Division I and III. She was also selected in 2012 as the faculty recipient of the National Blue Ribbon Award for Timber Point Elementary School.

In her time away from school, Carol enjoys hiking, gardening, and spending time with her two sons.
