Senior Program

Art class

For young people with varying interest in science, art, sports, and adventure our Senior Program is a perfect fit. Experienced educators provide a stimulating environment that enables children to build friendships, to participate in exhilarating physical and educational activities, and to let their creativity soar.

At the beginning of each week, children in the Senior Program design their own schedules by selecting two classes from a variety of offerings. Choices in the past have included photography, drama, soccer, logic games, sculpture, and technology. These choices are designed to offer children a chance to develop various skills, discover new talents, and have fun. In addition to the two activities, participants swim daily.

One day each week, St. Patrick’s joins forces with Calleva to engage in thrilling outdoor activities that include rock climbing, canoeing, low ropes, and hiking. The highly trained staff ensures a safe, positive experience for everyone. These adventurous sports help children sharpen their skills in team building, critical thinking, leadership, and goal setting. Most important, they develop a greater sense of self-confidence that they will carry with them into every facet of their lives.

Fridays provide participants an opportunity to engage in special activities designed by their teachers. Some examples include constructing hot air balloons, making pizza from scratch, learning salsa dancing, and participating in the Senior Program Olympics.

Perhaps the most exciting activity in our Senior Program is the overnight camping trip! One night during each three-week session, children will spend the night under the stars, playing games and making s’mores. It is a wonderful opportunity to experience the great outdoors in a safe, enjoyable environment.

A summer of fun, a lifetime of memories!
