BLACKWOOD — This week marks the fifth year Our Lady of Hope Regional School is offering a summer camp program. It is a 10-week program that focuses on academics, arts and crafts, and sports activities.
Each day will include academics with a concentration on math, religion Bible studies, and whole language, various arts and craft projects and a sports camp program with an emphasis on soccer, basketball, baseball and volleyball.
Every Wednesday a different field trip is offered. This summer some of the trips include the Blackwood Fire Department, bowling, a trip to the MainStage Theatre to see Camp Rock and Aladdin, RiverWinds Water World, the Camden Aquarium, trips to the movies, and a tour of Citizen’s Bank Park. Each trip is $15 which covers transportation and entrance to the event as well as lunch.
The summer camp program runs through Aug. 26, from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Friday. The camp is held at the Our Lady of Hope School campus and the school facilities will be used. The program is managed by teachers and staff of Our Lady of Hope School and is open to all students in grades Kindergarten through eighth grade for the 2011-12 school year. The cost of the summer camp is $175 a week for those students enrolled at Our Lady of Hope School and $200 a week for those enrolled at another school. A part-time option is also available at $40 per day or $30 per half day.
“This is a great program for parents who work in the summer and are looking for a fun, safe, and familiar setting for their children. It is also a great program for new students beginning in September. It gives them the opportunity to form bonds with students and teachers before the first day of school.” said Jennifer Van Es, advancement director at OLOH.
