Our goal is to promote virtues, values, and Biblical principles through SUMMER FUN CAMP. DARE stands for: Discipline, Attitude, Respect and Effort and LOVE stands for: Listen (to your parents), Obey (your parents), Volunteer (at home and school), and do it…Every day. Our intention is also to improve your child(ren)’s physical abilities, confidence in themselves, and FUNdamental life skills while embracing faith-based principles. We endeavor to provide a variety of other activities to keep them physically, mentally, socially, environmentally, intellectually, and spiritually active. We provide general information of each week as well as what to bring, where to drop off and pick up, and what to expect.

*(NEW) LIFE SKILLS

Campers will learn how to set the table, learn about meals and meal planning, food art, weaving, sewing, crochet, physical fundamentals, STEAM, learn to listen to each other, social etiquette, pray, and to be a contributing member of the family.

LEGO WEEKS and *(NEW) STEAM DAYS

LEGO Weeks: Lego provides a way of mastering many kinds of emerging skills, such as problem solving, spatial skills, and understanding semi complex tasks. Using three-dimensional objects also enables young and fertile minds the ability to plan ahead and make the necessary alterations so the pieces fit together as intended. (Retrieved April/2024 from: https://www.kidsclubchildcare.com.au/does-playing-lego-benefit-early-childhood ) Week 4 is both a “LEGO week” and “Build it & Fix it week”. Campers will have a choice between the two. This week’s rate is only for those who register “A la carte”. This week’s rate does not apply to those who register for the 6-week bundle (who will experience greater savings).

STEAM DAYS: We have previously entertained our campers with fun learning experiences in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. This year, we are introducing creative and critical thinking through STEAM projects. Campers 7 years and older have the opportunity to learn, plan, build, present, and cherish the educational experiences from assembling projects (woodworking or solar robots). There is additional cost of approx. $20 per camper to purchase materials. While this program is recommended for 8 years and older, we will allow some 7 year olds to participate in these projects.
