All Saints’ Summer Camp has received a reputation for flexibility and for enthusiastic teachers
who offer unique and exciting classes. Those classes are designed by our teachers and provide
them with an opportunity to share their passions, curiosities, and expertise with children! We
are delighted that so many of our All Saints’ faculty and other educational leaders have offered
their talents for this year’s summer program. They have created the wonderful tapestry of
choices you will view in this brochure. From our classics such as Scrapbooking, Annoying Cir-
cuitry, Calling All Rock Heads, and Great Hikes to classes we believe will become new favorites
such as Robotics, Zombie Makeup, Sports Experience, and Museum Tour this year’s brochure is
filled with a multitude of choices. Additionally, we have developed a variety of classes that will
enrich learning and reinforce math, reading, computer, study, and writing skills. At All Saints’
Summer Camp your child has the opportunity to explore his or her interests and pursue new
ones creating the perfect summer experience!
Flexibility and variety are key to our program. Classes are offered from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. with
an extended aftercare until 5 p.m. You may register your child for one or two classes, or you
may build an all-day program. Children may also register for the same class all four weeks if it
should be offered. The brochure is filled with all of the information you will need to learn about
All Saints’ Summer Camp. In the front, you will find a listing of classes by week which indicates
class title, instructor, class times, grade levels, and cost of each class. Following the class list is
an alphabetical listing of class descriptions. Please note that the grade level requirements for
each class indicate the grade a student will be entering for the 2015-16 school year.
As you review the brochure, please note that the 2015 All Saints’ Summer Camp will run a total
of four weeks:
June 1-5
June 8-12
June 15-19
June 22-26
Please feel free to pass on this brochure and invite your friends to enroll their children in our
summer camp. We would love to have them join us! Additional information can be found on
