We are excited for Summer 2026! On behalf of the Summer Team, we extend a warm welcome to your child and family.
The goal of the RA/LP Summer Program is to provide a safe, fun, and exciting environment where children can thrive. We encourage stepping out of comfort zones, trying new things, making great memories, and developing lasting confidence and friendships.
This Family Guide contains all the essential summer camp information you need and serves as your primary resource for questions about your child's upcoming experience.
We look forward to a summer full of adventure, growth, and sunshine!
Happy Summer!
Sara Abriola Auxiliary Program Director
