Summer at St. Mary's

Summer fun kicks off with four straight weeks of outdoor exploration, enrichment, friendship, and adventure!

Led by St. Mary’s Preschool Teacher Hillary Harris and Kindergarten Teacher Amanda Martin, our June camps are staffed by St. Mary’s faculty and are always a highlight of the summer. Families may register for all four weeks or choose the sessions that fit their schedule best—we can’t wait to share all the fun June has in store!

June Camps are open to children ages 3–11.
Campers must be potty-trained and able to manage their bathroom needs independently. Advance registration and payment are required. Camp sessions are filled on a first-come, first-paid basis.

Camp Schedule

Power up for a week of creative play, problem-solving, and digital imagination!

Gamer Week invites campers into a pixel-inspired world where learning meets play. Campers will explore classic and modern gaming themes through art, building challenges, coding-style thinking, music, and movement. Activities encourage logic, collaboration, and creativity while celebrating the fun of games both on-screen and off.

From hands-on maker projects and math games to active outdoor play and imaginative storytelling, Gamer Week is a high-energy start to summer that keeps minds engaged and bodies moving.

Where stories come alive, and imagination leads the way.

Storybook Week immerses children in the magical world of books, fairy tales, and beloved characters. Campers will explore classic and contemporary stories through creative art projects, dramatic play, STEM challenges, and campus-wide reading experiences.

Children will engage in author and illustrator studies, story-inspired games, and collaborative problem-solving activities — all designed to nurture a love of reading, spark their imagination, and build communication skills in joyful and playful ways.

Teamwork, movement, and camaraderie! 

Sports Week celebrates physical activity, cooperation, and perseverance. Campers will rotate through a variety of movement-based games, friendly competitions, and team challenges that promote healthy habits, sportsmanship, and confidence.

This week combines fitness, fun, and encouragement — providing campers with opportunities to try new skills, cheer for one another, and experience the joy of active play.

Create, explore, and celebrate creativity!

Maker Week is a hands-on celebration of imagination and innovation. Campers will design, build, paint, and experiment through a variety of art, STEM, and creative engineering projects inspired by the joys of summer.

Throughout the week, children work on collaborative and individual projects using a variety of materials and techniques. From guided art projects to open-ended making, students are encouraged to problem-solve, take creative risks, and express themselves in joyful, meaningful ways — all while developing fine motor skills, confidence, and a love for creating.
