Summer Adventures in Learning is a unique enrichment and recreation day camp open to SAA students and the local community. We offer 3 two-week sessions each summer for children starting at 3 years old to rising 8th graders. We are proud to employ a team of talented educators and counselors who are fully committed to creating a fun and meaningful summer for every camper.
Our mission is to provide a safe and enriching summer experience within an environment characterized by intellectual, artistic, physical, social, emotional, and creative growth. We accomplish this by offering programs that inspire learning and self-discovery, and that provide opportunities for friendship building and simply having fun being a kid! |

Summer 2022 Program OverviewPreschool and Kindergarten Program
Half Day (9:00am - 12:00pm) or Full Day (9:00am - 3:00pm) The Young Learners Program is a holistic school readiness experience that combines learning and fun for children preparing for the upcoming school year in their preschool or kindergarten classroom. Each two-week session is built around a thematic, multi-disciplinary curriculum (e.g. math, reading, science, art, etc.) that encourages academic, social, emotional, and physical development. Activities are engaging, interactive, and challenging, and they are designed with the differentiated development and educational needs of the child in mind. In addition to the morning enrichment activities, full day campers eat lunch, have a brief rest period, and spend the afternoon playing cooperative games, sports oriented games, water games, and other creative activities that get them moving around, improving physical fitness, and developing gross motor and coordination skills.
