To help your child avoid the "summer slide," we intend to incorporate learning activities throughout the day. We will pull activities from different subjects such as history, science, language arts, and more! Each week we will incorporate various activities, snacks, show & tell, and [at times] field trips. Stay tuned for monthly calendars highlighting field trips & special events.
Additionally, we want this time to be spiritually nourishing for your child! Each morning will begin with a time of prayer, and we will invite the kids to not only submit prayer requests on behalf of themselves or loved ones, but also to begin learning to pray for the individual needs of fellow campers. As in prior years, we will also have a morning devotional, and journal time. This time creates meaningful intention, and the children love sharing what it was that they took away from each of the daily devotionals.
Does your child struggle with certain subjects? As an added bonus, we also have tutoring available through Faith Christian School for students who may need extra help throughout the summer. For information on tutoring, please see the complete Summer Playground informational packet.

Once the program starts, we will send home field trip forms at least one week prior to the trip that will need to be filled out and returned with payment BEFORE a child is permitted to leave campus.

Parents are responsible for all food for their child(ren). Parents need to pack a lunch and 2 snacks—one for the morning and one for the afternoon. {Please list any food allergies on your child’s registration form.}
Additionally, we ask that all children who attend Summer Playground bring a water bottle with them each day since we spend a lot of time outdoors and want to ensure that the children stay properly hydrated.

The safety of your children is our top priority so we will not release your child to someone that is not listed as an approved pick-up person in Brightwheel.

You must fill out a medication form for each child if any medication is to be dispensed to your child throughout the day. All medication must be clearly labeled with the child's first and last name and it must be in the original container.
