New Zealand ~ “Land of the Long White Cloud”

Lecturer: Barry A. Greenlaw

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries in the world. It is also one of the most beautiful. With a population of less than 4.5 million, it retains in many areas a clean, natural and seemingly untouched environment. The South Island provides spectacular scenery; the North Island, a center of the country’s distinctive native culture. Discovered twice, first by the Maori’s in the 13th century, again by the Europeans in the 17th and 18th. And one could say, it has recently been discovered by the rest of the world, to a point where tourism is now the largest industry in the country, surpassing sheep, cows and wine. It is also a country, that I found on a recent visit, that reminds me of a place and time in which I grew up in the mid 20th century, an observation which has also been made by a prominent historian in a recently published book. Come to St. Martin’s in July and see if you agree.

This 4-week course will be presented three times each week - on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and on Tuesday evenings. The classes will begin on July 9 & 10 and conclude on July 30 & 31. The fee is $80.

If you have questions or need further information, please call Barry Greenlaw at 713-781-9028.

Confirmation of Registration will be sent out a week before the first session.

Make checks payable to Barry A. Greenlaw and enroll by returning this form and fee to Barry A. Greenlaw, P.O. Box 870, Columbus, TX 78934

New Zealand ~ “Land of the Long White Cloud”

Lecturer: Barry A. Greenlaw

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries in the world. It is also one of the most beautiful. With a population of less than 4.5 million, it retains in many areas a clean, natural and seemingly untouched environment. The South Island provides spectacular scenery; the North Island, a center of the country’s distinctive native culture. Discovered twice, first by the Maori’s in the 13th century, again by the Europeans in the 17th and 18th. And one could say, it has recently been discovered by the rest of the world, to a point where tourism is now the largest industry in the country, surpassing sheep, cows and wine. It is also a country, that I found on a recent visit, that reminds me of a place and time in which I grew up in the mid 20th century, an observation which has also been made by a prominent historian in a recently published book. Come to St. Martin’s in July and see if you agree.

This 4-week course will be presented three times each week - on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, and on Tuesday evenings. The classes will begin on July 9 & 10 and conclude on July 30 & 31. The fee is $80.

If you have questions or need further information, please call Barry Greenlaw at 713-781-9028.

Confirmation of Registration will be sent out a week before the first session.

Building Brains

LEGO I Engineering Camp

Morning Camp for 4* & 5 year olds {*must be 4 by January 1, 2013}


BUILDING BRAINS uses LEGO and K’NEX educational kits to BUILD math and science skills. These educational building kits have specially designed gears, levers and pulleys that teach students to build simple machines that really work.Our students will BUILD simple machines while BUILDING fine motor skills and confidence.

Classes are designed to reinforce classroom curriculum. Students use colors, sizes and shapes to correctly build a simple machine and then perform a scientific experiment to see how it works. In each class students will build a new and exciting machine and watch it work! Literacy skills are improved by memorizing poems with hand motions about gears, levers and pulleys to reinforce how they work and what they do.

Classes are progressive and build on one another. This is the next generation of critical thinking toys! We wrap our hands and our heads around a problem.
