Why Choose the Summer Program?

Perfect for busy families with full calendars! Instead of weekly classes throughout the year, your child completes all 30 hours of religious education instruction in one fun-packed week. We use the same official curriculum as our traditional program, but delivered through an immersive, high-energy experience.

What’s Included:

• Daily Rainforest Treks: A mix of arts & crafts, music, and games while encountering Christ in the catechism.
• The Academy Card: In August, students receive their "Academy Card"—a passport to parish life! You pick the events and community activities that fit your family's schedule throughout the year.
• 💦 Friday Finale: We close our expedition with special water-related activities on Friday afternoon!
