What does a Saint Patrick Summer Camper need to bring to camp each day?
Do the field trips cost extra?
No, they are included in the cost of tuition.
What kinds of activities will the campers do?
The mornings will start with roll call and outside play for all ages. The activities during the day will vary for different ages. Still, they will include various arts and crafts, indoor and outdoor gym activities, science exploration, reading/quiet time, songs, and many other fun projects! M/W/F will include field trips, pool days, and other recreational activities. T/H will be STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, math) days; we will work through different problem-solving activities and games.
What time does camp begin?
Camp opens at 9:00 AM, and doors open at 8:45. We ask that you notify the office (by email, text, or call) if you are arriving after 9:00 AM so that we can make sure that someone is available to meet you and let you in. Doors are locked at 9:00 AM for security purposes.
What time does camp end?
Camp is complete at 3:00 PM. Campers may be picked up earlier; again, please notify the office (by email or call) if you would like to pick up your child earlier so that we can make sure that someone is available to meet you. Doors will be locked until 3:00 PM.
When are the pool days? Where are the pool days? Does everyone attend?
Pool/water days are Wednesdays for campers at the Carlisle Swim Club. This is an optional trip. Campers staying back will have water activities instead of the field trip to Carlisle Swim Club.
Who are the counselors?
The counselors are a mix of high school. and college students, most with an educational background, and all have experience with children. Some folks are new to Saint Patrick School, and some have been here for years! Everyone is required to have their clearances through the Diocese of Harrisburg. All of them love to have fun with children!
When is the last day that I can register for a camp week?
Payment and registration are due two weeks before the start of camp.
