St. John's Parish Day School Early Childhood Camp
In-Person, Ages 3.5 to Entering Kindergarten
Summer fun starts here! Summer at St. John’s Parish Day School provides a safe and enriched environment for children ages 3.5 to entering Kindergarten. From June 13 – August 19, each week explores a unique theme that’s sure to spark curiosity and a love of learning through fun and engaging hands-on explorations. Each activity is developed specifically with young children in mind as St. John's strives to instill a sense of wonder and creative discovery while also celebrating childhood.
With options for full and partial day sessions, enrollment is flexible and may be from one to ten weeks to fit every family’s needs. All sessions are open to non-St. John’s Parish Day School students. Read about the weekly themes, hours, and rates below. Email questions to [email protected].
