COURTYARD SUMMER CAMP
We are excited to announce Courtyard Summer camp is open for registration for all Courtyard families and the public!
We have nine thematic weeks of camp for you to choose from. Our experienced, caring, and professional staff provide campers with the opportunity to have fun and continue learning throughout the summer. Our campers continue their educational and social growth through weekly themes, on-site events, activities tailored for each age group, and daily academic enrichment.
Campers each receive their own Summer Bridge academic review workbook which they work in daily during camp to retain their classroom skills and enter their new grades in the fall feeling confident and prepared.
Our camp day and activities are from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. For your convenience, we also provide before camp care (7:30 a.m.-9:00 a.m.) and after camp care (3:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.) Courtyard has a strict late pick up policy. If your child is still on campus after 5:30 p.m. there will be an additional charge. That fee will increase with the frequency of late pick-ups.

RPG Club with Mr. P
RPGS, or Role-Playing Games, are games based on cooperative, imaginative play. Players become heroic characters and have epic adventures in a fantasy world created and run by another player at the table who takes on the role of Game Master. Pre-existing rules and rolls of the dice provide a basis for a truly amazing experience. In this club for players ages seven to fourteen, students will create their own fantasy characters, monsters, and worlds with creative activities, design and run their own games, and take part in an epic campaign written and run by Mr. P. We will be playing Dungeons and Dragons and various other RPGs. Ten to twelve total students can sign up for this role-playing adventure.
