Academy Themes Connect With Physical Training An integral part of each Summer Academy experience, our physical training (PT) is no ordinary play time. Activities are directly linked to each Summer Academy. For example, in Math, Marvels and More, enjoy scooterboard math games and cooperative math aerobics.
