The Saint Mary Summer Program will include a variety of high-quality programming consisting of Creative and Performing Arts, Athletic Activities, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) along with field trips to local historical sites and other fun and stimulating outdoor activities. Situated in the heart of Independence National Park, St. Mary Summer Program will allow campers to explore historical educational sites such as the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the American Revolution Museum, the National Liberty Museum, the First Bank, and Betsy Ross House, among others.
The summer program is a six-week program that will run from July through mid-August. It will operate Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4 pm and serve campers who are entering kindergarten through fifth grade. A theme has been designated for each week of the program to ensure camper interest and create a fun and non-traditional school learning environment.
