Summer Fundamentals
FUNdamentals—A Great Summer “Fit”
Thank you for your interest in our summer academic, arts and enrichment camp, Summer FUNdamentals, which begins its 15th year of operation this coming June. At our camp, which is a cooperative venture between Bishop Dunn Memorial School and Mount Saint Mary College, we have developed a program over the last 14 years that remains unique in the region in the mix of drama, art, academic, recreation, and sports activities that are offered.
Because of the choices students have for each of the six hourly program blocks that are offered over the course of the day, we think of Summer FUNdamentals as a kind of summer suit that can be custom-fit to your child’s tastes and interests. This year, In our ongoing effort to keep providing a stimulating and challenging environment for both new and returning program participants, not only have we reorganized the way in which academic activities will be offered, but we have also broken up our overall program into two-week rather than three-week blocks, so that participants can switch from one activity to another more easily through our six-week session. In additions to our full-morning remediation program for parents who are concerned about their children regressing in their basic academic skills over the summer, we also offer a half dozen other academic and arts enrichment classes. We will also continue to offer a number of popular activities that have been added in recent years, including table tennis, cheerleading and chess, and will also introduce this year a full-morning drama program for older students, which will focus on developing a stage production at the end of each two-week session.
One of the best things about Summer FUNdamentals is that, like a good raincoat, our camp is virtually weather-proof. There are plenty of outdoor sports and recreational activities, but we also have two gyms available and completely air conditioned activity rooms to go to, when it’s too hot or too wet to be outside.
If you think, Summer FUNdamentals might be a good fit for your child, we welcome you to “try us on” this summer. As an extra incentive, we will continue our policy of offering an early registration discount.
