2024 Early Childhood Summer Camp Weekly Themes
Session 1 – June 10 - 14 : Get Ready, Get Set, It’s Summertime!
Sizzle into summertime with St. John’s Summer Camp. How do you like to spend a hot day? Run through the sprinkler, lick a popsicle, sit in the shade? Campers will do all of these fun summertime activities and more as they try to stay cool.
Session 2 – June 17 - 21: Lions, Tigers, and Bears! Oh My!
Along with parrots, prairie dogs, penguins, hippos, zebras, and so many more animals. We will build a zoo this week, and learn how to take care of all of the zoo animals. We will even make some elephant toothpaste. Elephants need clean teeth too!
Session 3 – June 24 - 28: To the Market We Will Go!
Summertime is the best time of the year to try fresh fruits and vegetables. Campers will do some planting on St. John’s Farm this week. We will open up the St. John’s Farmers Market selling fruits and vegetables of every color of the rainbow. Let's try some fresh and delicious recipes too!
Session 4 – July 1 - 5: I Love the Red, White, and Blue! (No class on July 4th)
The 4th of July is not just about fireworks and parades. As campers picnic and wave the red white and blue, they will learn more about the flag, as well as some of the other American symbols. Join us this week for some patriotic fun!
Session 5 – July 8 - 12 : Thunder, Lightening, Snow! What's the Weather?
Where does rain come from? Why doesn't it snow in the summer? What makes a tornado? Let’s put on our meteorologists’ hats and find the answers to these questions and more.
Session 6 – July 15 - 19 : It's Snowing in July! On the Pages of Jann Brett's Books
How many animals can fit in a hat or a mitten? Who eats the three snow bears soup? Come to camp this week to find the answers to these questions and learn more about Jan Brett’s wintery characters.
Session 7 – July 22 - 26 : DinoRoar!
ROAR!! How big were those dinosaurs? We will put on our Paleontologist hats and see for ourselves. How long is diplodocus’ tail? How much bigger is T-Rex’s foot than ours? We will answer all of these questions and many more about those creatures from long ago.
Session 8 – July 29 - Aug 2: Pond Life: From Dragonflies to Frogs and Lily Pads
What’s in a pond? Let’s take a walk through the small pond to see who these creatures are and how they live. What’s the life cycle of a frog? Why do turtles have a shell? Let’s splash through this week as we find out these answers and more about what goes on in a pond.
Session 9 – Aug 5 - 9 : Look! I'm a Mad Scientist
Join us for five days of science fun! From nature to magnets to simple machines to experiments, campers will see how science works through exploring, discovering, and inventing. How does a zip line or a lava lamp work? Let’s find out!
Session 10 – Aug 12 - 16 : Where Do the Wild Things GO? - Just Ask Sendak's Characters
Join in the fun as Max’s dream comes to life! What would you look like as a Wild Thing? What would you do if there were alligators all around? Sail with Max in his boat as you navigate through the many settings of Mr. Sendak’s stories.
