Summer Fun Camp

Open to all children of St. Dominic Catholic Parish age 4-12


Mission

St. Dominic Summer Fun Camp honors the family and takes pride in supporting parents as the caregivers of the children. We provide a safe and loving environment where children are valued and cared for. Opportunities for play, field trips, outdoor fun, cooking, experiments, and more will be provided in a supervised setting which functions as an extension of St. Dominic Catholic School. Therefore, all rule and policies are in compliance with that of the school.

Goal

Our goal is to provide a safe, secure, and fun environment for the children in our care. Through our interactions with the children, they are able to continue to learn things such as respect, sharing, honesty, and how to treat others well. We look to build relationships with not just the children, but the parents as well. Establishing a trusting relationship with the children and parents helps to ensure that both parent and child is comfortable and happy knowing that their needs are met every day.
