Summer @ Chandler 2012

June 18 - August 3, 2012

Grades K -8

Dear Families, Welcome to Summer@Chandler! This year, we’re back on the Chandler campus and better than ever.

With the completion of the new south campus, as well as improvements to our facilities elsewhere on campus, Chandler is delighted to again offer our comprehensive summer camp and enrichment classes to all K-8 students in the greater Pasadena community.

In keeping with the mission of Chandler School, you’ll find that our summer program offers each student a stimulating and enriching experience in a nurturing, child-centered environment. Camp and enrichment class activities are designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, confidence and respect for each other and our community.

And of course, they are also designed to be fun! Our dynamic staff of highly experienced teachers and camp counselors will ensure your child feels welcomed, is engaged, and stays safe.

Participants this summer will enjoy using Chandler’s beautiful new field and sport court, our remodeled gymnasium, new science labs, a mixed-media art room and the new Ahmanson Foundation Performing Arts Center. These tremendous campus improvements will enhance your child’s experience this Summer@Chandler. We’ve also made programmatic adjustments that allow for more integration of camp and enrichment classes. This will ensure a more coordinated use of the campus and a more structured routine for your child.

Summer@Chandler offers flexible enrollment options to meet your family’s needs. Camp offers half-day, full-day, weekly and extendedcare enrollment options. Children may be enrolled for any number of enrichment classes as long as they are consecutive. We expect a popular schedule will be one where children spend their mornings in enrichment classes and their afternoons at camp. On Fridays we’ll head out for fullday camp field trips to some of the best attractions in the Los Angeles area.

My staff and I are committed to providing the best summer program around. We’re excitedly planning innovative activities, unique classes, and cool field trips we know your child will love. The best kind of summer is a Summer@Chandler!
