Great Hearts Summer Programs
June 2019
Our Great Hearts team is excited to announce our 2019 Summer Camp! Our full-day summer camp is an experience for children K-5th grade that is reminiscent of traditional camps from our childhood with the same quality you have come to expect from Great Hearts. Each week, scholars will experience hands-on, engaging activities in fine arts, reading, writing, crafts, science, math, and history – all designed to inspire creativity and keep skills sharp over the summer. Each Camp also offers weekly guest presenters, camp songs, and games while fostering lasting friendships. Camps Start June 3rd. Summer Camp runs from 8:15am to 6:00pm Monday through Friday.
