Summer is here! If you are looking for a fun and educational way for your kids to spend their days this July, Trinity has you covered! Our “Summer Up! Intensive and Day Camp” is a mini-crash course in supporting your child’s individual learning style with all the same fun perks of a classic day camp. This year’s camp sessions will include some new safety measures such as social distancing, daily disinfectant protocols, and vigorous hand-washing.
Enrolled students spend their mornings learning a highly-individualized curriculum in math, language arts, and reading therapy. In the afternoon they spend time playing, crafting and exploring. Through proven research-based methods, ongoing testing and assessments, Trinity School teachers can identify what struggles a student might have in school. From there, we design a tailored program that incites growth for each student!
The safety and health of our staff, students, parents, and visitors is our utmost priority. Our preparedness plan for managing the COVID-19 outbreak has been adapted from CDC Guidance for Summer Camps for all group activities. Based on CDC guidelines, Trinity School has adopted the following safeguards for our Summer Up! campers, instructors and camp director to reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure and spread during camp sessions and activities.
