Ready, Set, Summer! Dear Families, Thank you for your interest in Allendale Columbia School Summer Programs for your child(ren)! At AC, our school year ends a little earlier than most other schools, so there’s always those few weeks to pause, breathe, plan and to be honest with you, the school is very quiet...TOO quiet! I always look forward to camps kicking off later in June, when the campus is back to its buzzing self. Also, each summer, I am continually amazed by the creativity of offerings that are dreamt up by our Faculty and Staff. It’s so much fun to read their ideas on paper and then see them brought to life (with the energy of your kiddos) a few months later! I am happy to share that we have over 40 camps to offer this summer. There truly is something for everyone, and we hope that you will agree as you read through this brochure! See you soon! Julie Barrett Director of Summer Programs

PAGE 1 Do you offer before and after care? Yes! We offer morning care from 8am - 9am and afternoon care from 3pm - 5:30pm. Morning care is $40 a week, Afternoon care is $80 a week. If camper is registered for both morning and afternoon, we offer a combined reduced rate of $100.

Are you closed for holidays this summer? Yes! Allendale Columbia observes both Juneteenth and Independence Day. Therefore there will be no camps on the following dates: Wed 6/19 Mon - Fri 7/1 - 7/5

Half day campers should bring a snack and a water bottle every day. *Some camps may include lunch (pizza) on a particular day, but this will be communicated well in advance

If my child attenDs a morning and a different afternoon camp, when will they eaT? If your child attends a morning camp and then transitions to another at 12pm. they are welcome to eat their lunch at either the end of their first camp, or at the beginning of their second camp.

What is AC’s NUT-free policy? We are a nut-free school and follow a policy of not distributing any peanuts, tree nuts, or products containing nuts. We ask that food containing nuts or nut products not be brought into the school for the safety of our students with nut allergies. Birthday treats and bake sale items are also not permitted to contain these ingredients. For additional information, please contact the Admissions Office or our Food Service Director, Laura Reynolds-Gorsuch.

Teachers: Travis Godkin & Tracey Vandernaald

3rd - 9th Grade

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…. or in the summer of 2024…two Jedi wannabes decided to hold the most epic summer camp in the galaxy. This camp combines LEGO & Star Wars, two of the most awesome things in the universe. Come join our band of rebels as we recreate iconic scenes from the Star Wars universe. Participants will learn strategies to create MOCs (my own creations) and will flex their creativity and ingenuity by contributing to one of two large builds: BUILD A - The Battle of Hoth - a major victory for the Galactic empire and one of the most devastating losses for the rebel alliance. We will design our own layout for the Battle of Hoth and recreate it using LEGO bricks. Students will be able to build popular sets like AT-ATs, AT-STs, and the Millenium falcon while recreating the battle and designing their own Echo Base. BUILD B - The Battle of Endor - one of the most significant battles between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. The Death Star II was destroyed and this decisive rebel victory hastened the decline of the Empire. Students can build AT-STs and recreate the imperial outpost and bunker on Endor and the fighting that takes place between the empire and the Rebels/Ewoks. Students will also be able to create other MOCs that coincide with the films like the events on Tatooine that lead to Jabba the Hutt’s demise at the Great Pit of Carkoon. Cost $225

*Conducting experiments in Potions class *Playing Quidditch (AKA Quadball)! House Cup! *Making holiday themed Harry Pottter crafts such as ornaments of Hedwig, the Golden snitch, and Weasley holiday sweaters.

Once their wand has chosen them, they will be sorted into one of our 4 unique houses. DragonFrost is blue and silver, FieryFökse is red and gold, YonaPaw is green and silver, and Falconflight is yellow and black. I realized after my first year that I needed to create my own houses. I don’t want my witches/wizards upset or their Hogwarts experience ruined because they didn’t get into their favorite house. Having new houses also eliminates the labels that are associated with each of the original houses. *We do our best at Hogwarts AC to keep major plot points a secret. We encourage other campers to allow those who haven’t yet read the books to experience the magic, joy, and surprise that they themselves have been lucky to already enjoy.
