General Information
Each summer, as part of our mission to serve as a community resource, North
Cross School hosts summer programs for hundreds of children from across the
Roanoke Valley and beyond. The program allows participants to choose from
a broad range of enrichment programs and sports camps designed to provide
students of all ages with safe activities that are interesting, challenging, and fun.
These offerings are intended to improve the social, mental, and physical skills of
participants and allow them to make new friends, as well as develop new interests
and revisit old ones. The School has been hosting these summer programs for
more than 30 years. Programs begin in early June and run through August.
Facilities
All of our programs are held on the School’s 77-acre, self-contained campus at
4254 Colonial Avenue, Roanoke, Virginia, at the corner of Rt. 419 and Colonial
Avenue. The School consists of nine buildings, including a lower, middle, and
upper school as well as the Carter Athletic Center which boasts indoor basketball
and volleyball courts, an indoor track, a dance studio, weight and exercise rooms,
racquetball courts, and an indoor swimming pool. In addition, we have installed a
brand new security system that keeps your child as safe as possible.
Faculty & Staff
The Summer Programs staff is comprised of teachers and coaches from North
Cross School and other area schools, college students, North Cross School alumni,
and counselors who are current students from North Cross School.
Camp Participants
North Cross School students, as well as students from dozens of other local
schools, participate. Please be reminded that participants are admitted on a firstcome, first-served basis. In an average year, over one-half of all participants come
from schools other than North Cross School and range from three to 15 years old.
Applicants are accepted without regard to race, creed, ethnicity, or national origin.
Programs
Students can participate in enrichment programs and sports camps. The
enrichment programs provide a structured, safe setting for students in age three
through eighth grade and offer guided activities and the time to explore individual
interests. The June Jamboree and Awesome August programs are designed to
provide a structured day-care setting for three-year old campers through fifth
grade students, offering flexible hours. The Kindercamp program is for three,
four and five-year old campers. Kindercamp participants are engaged in an array
of activities including swimming, storytelling, crafts, and exciting field trips. The
Discovery Camp program combines daily classes in art, literature, and science

Madness program provides rising fifth through eighth grade students with the
opportunity to learn more about a variety of interests, including guitar, robotics,
