FRIENDS CAMP REGISTER NOW FOR SUMMER 2016! gosaints.org/camps FUN CAMP Hello, Campers and Parents! We are preparing to bring you the best summer camp in town and we hope you’ll join us and tell your friends. Each summer, St. Andrew’s faculty, upper school students and recent graduates come together to create a day camp that’s equal parts learning, exploring, inventing, playing, laughing, tasting and having fun. All are welcome — you don’t have to be a St. Andrew’s student to attend summer camps. All camps are taught by St. Andrew’s faculty and are way more than just day care. We take all kids in kindergarten and older on weekly field trips. We keep the whole kid active — mind and body. They should come home each day tired, happy and ready to do it all again the next day. This year, Kindercamp is open to rising PK4, K, and 1st graders, and Adventure Camp is open to rising 2nd through 6th graders. All camps will take place in the lower school main building. As always, our professional coaching staff also offers many athletic camps at the north campus, and we have a variety of academic and specialty camps from the Reading Clinic to Video Game Creation. All camp details and registration are at gosaints.org/camps. Don’t delay — space fills up quickly! We hope you will join us for the best summer yet.
