Welcome to Summer Fun 
at St. Timothy’s 
2008!

We are all very excited about our biggest summer camp ever here at St. Timothy’s! We developed a special theme for each week that offers a unique summer learning experience for children entering 1^st – 5^th grade. Our program offers a wide range of fun activities including cooking, music, story time, arts & crafts, math, science, and much, much more.

Our program offers children the opportunity to create, explore, experiment and play, all within a fun, loving, Christian environment.  The themes will inspire and celebrate your child’s imagination. Our seven weeks at St. Tim’s will include: “Castle Adventures”, “I’ve got Rhythm…I’ve got Music”, “The Great Outdoors”, “God Bless America (July 3^rd)”, “Listen-Up” (Mt. Cross Ministries), “Power Lab VBS”, “Incredible Edibles” and “Adventures on the High Seas”.  Each of these weeks has been outlined for your review in the enclosed packet. 

The mission of our Elementary Grades Summer Fun Program is to provide children and families with a fun and exciting summer experience.  In addition to our weekly themes the children will learn Christian songs and participate in daily devotion and prayer.  Our dedicated staff will help the children to build a foundation of curiosity and delight on which to build lifelong summer memories and learning. 

We hope you will join the fun with us this summer here at St. Timothy’s Summer Camp.  We are all looking forward to working and playing with you this summer!

Summer Camp Helpful Hints

Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures

You must sign in your child when you drop him/her in and sign your child out at the end of the day.  You will drop off and pick up your child at the Carter Avenue Facility (5151 Carter Avenue).  Remember only people authorized by you, IN WRITING, will be allowed to pick up your child.  All People unknown to us will need a photo ID — even parents.

Camp Hours

Summer Camp ends at 3:00 pm, you may pick up your campers at this time.  We will offer after care for those parents that are working.  Please keep in mind that all children must be picked up no later than 6:00pm or per minute fees will be charged. 

What to bring…

Your child will need to bring his/her lunch to camp each day, except Friday.  Every Friday, the children will make lunch together.  Please do not bring any toys or electronic games from home to play with during the day.  It is important to understand that beloved objects can be broken or lost.  

Summer Camp Attire

Please have your child wear comfortable, appropriate play clothes to summer camp – shorts and t-shirts are great!  The will have lots of opportunities to get dirty and messy.  Please make sure all backpacks, totebags, lunchboxes, and clothing are marked with their name.  Children should wear sturdy sandals or sneakers so they can run and play outside.

Sunscreen

Please put sunscreen on your child before coming to camp.  They may keep a bottle in their backpack or lunchbox, as we do not provide or apply sunscreen at camp.

Snacks and Lunches

Two summer camp snacks will be provided during the day and will often be created by the children.  Please plan to bring a healthy bag lunch for your child Monday – Thursday and keep in mind we do not have access to refrigerate or heat up the lunches. On Fridays the children will be making their own lunches during camp.

Special Concerns

If your child has food allergies, medication, or other special concerns, please let us know on the registration form.  We want to partner with parents to make summer fun for everyone coming to camp.
