Operation Smile – Interactive Learning Center ProgramsOperation Smile Interactive Learning Center is open! Field trips can now be scheduled. As students experience the ILC, they’ll encounter real-world examples of the subject matter they learn in the classroom – including objectives as outlined in the Virginia Standards of Learning – and they’ll explore potential career opportunities. But, perhaps most importantly, they’ll build meaningful connections with Operation Smile’s patients and learn how to apply their knowledge to make a difference in the lives of others.
Spring & Summer Camp Programs: The ILC Young Scholars program is a no-cost opportunity for students to learn through the vision of Operation Smile. Open to rising 7th and 8th graders. -
