Summer Camp

Posted on June 12, 2022 by St. Ferdinand School

We are pleased to announce that Summer Camp begins June 27, 2022!

This summer, St. Ferdinand Campers will journey through “Bookland.” They will delight in fairy tales, mysteries, myths, legends, poems, biographies, fantasies, science fiction stories, folk tales, legends, non-fiction stories, etc… Of course, they will do this and more: reading, writing, problem solving, experimenting, drawing, singing, playing and going on field trips.

St. Ferdinand School plans on hosting an exciting summer camp program for PK students turning 4 before 9/1/22 through students entering fifth grade. This will be a full day program with learning and fun rolled into one. Half days will be available for incoming PK4s. Mornings will have an academic focus with reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies activities aimed at highlighting different genres of books. Afternoons will be filled with fine arts, physical wellness, summer games, athletics and horsing around. Our one-of-a-kind curriculum will be child-centered, engaging, and critical thinking minded. Consideration of iReady domains will also be considered in planning lessons. There will be time to work, play and make friends.

Certified elementary school teachers with classroom and summer camp experience will create the curriculum and largely teach the classes keeping the needs, wants and safety of your children in mind. Teacher aides and Junior Counselors will provide assistance. Guest instructors will visit for enrichment and walking excursions to the library and other places will be planned.

Camp hours will be 9 am till 3 pm. Extended Care will be open from 7:30am till 9 am and 3 pm till 5:30pm ($7 per hour).

There is still time to Register — Registration may be completed via a Google Form at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12A9w-VIowwlUd4FqNSvZDAE_NtcznFYypQqso6HrOjI/edit
