Summer Camps
2025
Welcome to Summer Camp!
Scroll down for weekly info and photos!
Learning NEVER stops, so there are plenty of opportunities each day for young minds to grow. Occasionally, inclement weather will necessitate the cancellation of outside activities and/or trips. Our staff plans for these with fun indoor games, movie days, and other fun activities. Our staff is First Aid and CPR certified.

We are going to end our LAST week of camp with a blast!!! We will have Water Days on Monday and Tuesday, Rockets with Mr. Risner on Thursday morning, and Birds of Prey with Mrs. Hendricks in the afternoon. Check out Friday’s activities!
