Check out pages 2-4 for more detailed information and the weekly themes.

Designed and led by professionals in the field, these weeks tackle real-world problem solving and teamwork in these unique professions. With limited space available in order to ensure the quality of the program, registering early guarantees your child’s spot. Turn to page 8 to see the careers we are offering this year.

ST. PETER’S SCHOOL

1

Pre-school through Fifth Grade

Summer Enrichment Program The Summer Enrichment Program has been the backbone of St. Peter’s Summer Programming for nearly 20 years. Formatted so that each student gets to experience a variety of topics each day, the program is all about getting a little bit of everything.

Students are organized into groups by age prior to their arrival at camp and assigned a Group Leader that will be their guide through the week’s adventures. Once the groups are settled, the week will begin with a large Summer Program Assembly where we all get to see who will be with us this week. Each group will then get a chance to name themselves and come up with a chant or song to signify who they are to everyone else.

After that, it’s off to our first class.

Each day allows the students to travel from class to class, learning more about each week’s theme through geography lessons, storytelling games, special recipes, and a variety of other things! With a half-day and full-day option, you can decide how much you’d like your child to experience each week. And as we know it’s the summer, we’ll have plenty of time to play outside amidst all of our learning. Whether this is your first time here with us or are returning for another year, the themes for the summer promise to offer a brand new experience each week for your child.

At the close of each week, friends and family will be invited to a small sharing by each group that showcases just a bit of what they learned with us.

All weeks are $250/week for half-day attendance or $350/week for full-day attendance.

Career Weeks

NEW FOR 2015!

St. Peter’s is looking to provide a space where interests can be explored and passions can be developed. By attending one of our Career Weeks this summer, students on the path to high school get the opportunity to get real life knowledge in a vocation of their choice. Our programs go beyond the classroom, taking advantage of our Center City neighborhood and its cultural resources to create a fun and unique learning environment. Developed and led by professionals in the fields they are studying, our Career Weeks offer students a truly unique experience. FULL DAY: $450/week Check out our specific Career Week topics for this summer:

Entrepreneurship

July 20-24

Do you have an “idea man” in your midst? Then he or she might be the perfect fit for our week that explores how to make ideas come to life. By examining local businesses that all started with a nugget of a thought, students will see the sheer time and effort that goes into bringing it all to life.

Veterinary Science

July 27-31

Sports Management

If you’re constantly amazed by your child’s knowledge of teams, players, and the industry in general, then it might be time to see how to make all that time and energy pay off. By working with professionals in the sports field, students see how things like Fantasy Football can be a stepping stone to an actual career.

Culinary Arts

Does your child make a fantastic filet mignon? Or are people already after their secret cookie recipe?

Architecture
