Summer Camp
Summer is a time for outside fun! Appleseeds
is located on a 2 acre piece of property with a large field for baseball,
kickball, tag and all kinds of fun games. Water play either with a sprinkler
or a slip 'n slide is done as many days a week as the weather permits.
Children can't be all out at high energy
all day so we include a down time with journaling, reading or listening
to books on tape/CD.
Inside our school is beautifully air conditioned.
We all really appreciate that on those 100 degree days! While inside
we have many enrichment activities the children participate in. Most
summers we have at least two performances for the entire school either
as a play or a talent show. In the past we have traveled in a time machine
and researched decades past whether it be the early 19th century or
the 1980's. The themes change weekly and are based on the interests
of the children enrolled.
Field trips are planned occasionally and
will be posted prior to sign up for the summer.
Our camp counselors are typically teachers
on summer vacation or teachers in training home from college on break.
Appleseeds has been blessed with summer camp leaders that truly love
children and fun! We also have a program where anyone entering third
grade or above is designated a counselor in training and has more responsibility
than a typical camper. The older children LOVE this recognition of their
maturity.
Our spaces for summer camp are limited to
20 children. Children who are currently enrolled and siblings of children
currently enrolled have priority. Families are welcome to sign up for
the days and or weeks that they wish if they do so prior to May 1st.
Due to last minute changes in enrollment in the prior years we will
be requiring a 4 week tuition payment by April 1st, another 4 weeks
on May 1st and the remainder on June 1st, therefore all tuition will
be paid prior to camp beginning.
