These Camps are designed to help students explore their love of learning in a variety of areas. Attending camp can give your child the chance to feel more confident and take greater risks once the school year resumes in fall. Instead of experiencing summer learning loss, students can retain and build upon their learning from the previous year. These camps are for Grade School age children going into grades 1-6 of the 2024/25 school year. Mrs. Mac and Mrs. Drozd, both certified teachers, will plan and teach the camps. Each camp is limited to 15 children. Paper enrollment or the online version are due with the fee by Tuesday, May 14. The online enrollment can be found on our website columbus-catholic.org. Click on St. Bonaventure School, the Preschool information tab, and the link is Grade School Camps.

If you are new to Brightwheel, you will have to create an account. You will be billed for the fee once your child has been admitted to the camp. If registering with paper you will get an invitation to Brightwheel, so we can share reminders, information, and pictures from the camp.

REGISTRATION

Themes for this years Camps are:

S.T.R.E.A.M: May 28-31 (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art & Math) This year we will be looking closer at motors and how they are used in technology today. Some options to explore will include building a vacuum cleaner, static mixer, and motorboat. We will also revisit computer coding, circuits, and chemical reactions. Religion will include looking at a new way to pray, coming closer to Jesus through meditation. Math games and Art options will also be offered to students to include a well-rounded choice for developing curious minds!

Everything a Child should know about the Bible: July 15-18  Topics we will cover this week will include:  How the Bible is designed, Who wrote the Bible, How Jesus comes to help us, How to live as a friend of Jesus, and What to expect when Jesus returns. Activities include reading and acting out Scripture, enjoying art and games, spending time in church for journaling and worshiping through song and dance together!

The fee for each camp is $110 and includes most materials. Each camp will run from 9:30AM-2:30PM each day. If there are extra fees or supplies needed we will inform parents the week before. Extra Days/Hours of Child Care may be added with permission from the director. Healthy sack lunches will need to be brought daily. You will receive an email the week or two before camp with reminders of what supplies need to be brought. If you enroll your child in both camps the enrollment fee can be brought/paid the first day of camp for the second camp. The minimum number is 7 per classroom. We will refund your fee if we do not meet enrollment minimums.
