Carden Summer Program 2013
Entering Grades K-5
$295 per week
June 17 - Aug 9
7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Presented by the Carden staff, the summer program involves a fun, hands-on approach to learning in a non-strenuous academic environment. The fundamentals of the Carden Curriculum are covered in an entertaining format rotating through subjects including math, science, reading, and writing skills. Students will receive small group instruction as well as independent practice. Drama, sports, arts, and crafts round out the learning experience. Some weeks campers go on field trips, while other weeks events come to campus. Camp-specific events take place from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Extended supervision is included in the weekly fee, with morning E.S. from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m, and afternoon E.S. from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Please bring lunch, a water bottle, and snacks for the morning and afternoon.
