At Holy Trinity Day School, we are passionate about nurturing the whole child--cognitively, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually, using a wide variety of techniques, activities, and each child’s own interests. One of the means we use to further these goals is through our summer camp experiences.
This summer we will host five camp sessions. Each camp session lasts either 3 or 4 days, depending on the age of your child, and is structured around a different theme. Through an age-appropriate, play-based curriculum, students will explore, create, and connect with the theme through meaningful, hands-on activities geared toward preschoolers’ natural curiosity and investigative natures.
Camps run from 9:00 am- 1:00 pm and serve children 11 months to 8 years. Recent graduates and older siblings are welcome. Children will bring a snack, reusable water bottle, and lunch for each day of camp.
Camps for our younger students, children born between August 31, 2019 through July 30, 2022, will run Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Students will be grouped together by age so that they are with their peers. Camp tuition is $120 per week.
Camps for children born September 1, 2015 through August 30, 2019 will run Monday through Thursday. Students will be grouped together by age so that they are with their peers. Camp tuition is $145 per week.
Camp registration and payment is due by April 25. Registrations and payment received after April 25 will incur a $20 late fee which is non-refundable. Payment for camp will be handled through Brightwheel for current and newly enrolled families or by cash or check payable to Holy Trinity Day School. All payments through Brightwheel and/or by check or cash are due in full by April 25. Cancellations or changes in dates must be made by phone or email two weeks prior to the start of the camp in order to receive a refund (excluding the late fee if applicable). Refunds will not be given for changes made after the two- week window nor for absences related to illness. Refunds will be given if a camp has to shut down due to exposure to a virus and is not able to meet per CDC guidelines. Each camp offering is subject to enrollment and ability to staff.
