 Welcome to Summer Rocks at Emmanuel Lutheran School!
This year we will be offering camps for students in Preschool through rising 9th grade. In our program your child can explore a wide variety of areas. Please read the program listings carefully to find out more about each camp.
All programs are held Monday through Friday. Please note that there is no camp on Friday, July 3rd. A snack is served each day, and a hot lunch is provided for students attending over the noon hour.
The Little Tikes Program, for Infant thru rising Kindergarten, is predominantly a full day program. Our Explorers Program, for rising 1st thru 9th grade students, offers a choice of half day or full day, with lots of flexible options. Arts and crafts, swimming, and other fun activities round out the afternoon for our full-day campers. Emmanuel Under the Lights, for rising 6th thru 9th grade, is a partial-day camp. Please read carefully to determine camp hours. It all culminates with a fantastic drama camp as we present our rendition of Marcy Heisler’s “Dear Edwina.”
Space is limited, so don’t delay! Please note that a non-refundable $50.00 registration fee and four signatures are required for the application to be complete and to reserve your child’s spot. This fee is applied to the cost of the camps. Also, please feel free to call us at 281-8182 with any questions you may have about any of our programs.
