The Satori Fun Summer Camp begins on June 1, 2009, and runs through August 21, 2009.  The hours for planned activities are 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Supervision is provided from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm for the convenience of working parents who need the extended hours.

We will go swimming at the nearby Knights of Columbus pool twice a week, on Wednesday and Friday mornings and we will have art classes twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons taught by Sara Shallenberger. Students will take scheduled walks together to the library and to the pool.

Specific themes are planned for each week and parents will receive a weekly schedule outlining the daily schedules, theme, walks, and field trips. Field trips are planned for each month and will include a trip to Seacamp. Daily activities will center around play indoors and outdoors, imagination, creativity, idea development, and light academic review led off by the morning teacher, Angelica Jimenez.  For more information you may contact the Summer Camp Director, Janet Roy, who is also the afternoon teacher for the camp. The school phone is 409-763-7022.
