SAINT MARY’S HIGH SCHOOL

Summer P R O G R A M S

Dear Parents and Guardians: Saint Mary’s High School is inviting you to make us your child’s home away from home this summer! Saint Mary’s Summer Programs offer an array of academic, athletic, and art based activities for students as young as seven all the way up through high school age. Whether you’re an athlete looking to hone your lacrosse skills, have a strong interest in the performing arts, or are a middle school student looking to strengthen your academic and leadership skills, Saint Mary’s has a summer program for you. All of the programs are directed by individuals who are experts in their field, and many are members of the Saint Mary’s High School faculty and coaching staff. A camper can choose to be part of a morning, afternoon, or full day activity – or if several camps catch your eye, enroll in more than one! Additionally, all of the Summer Programs offer options for early drop off/late day pick up.

This summer, St. Mary’s is offering several exciting new programs as well as many popular returning camps. New this year is the Saint Mary’s Summer Leadership Program, an enrichment curriculum that integrates educational, spiritual, and leadership development for young men and women entering the 8th grade. It calls for educational work in the morning followed by a variety of recreational activities in the afternoon, and also focuses on the students’ spiritual and leadership development.

Admittance to this five-week camp is based on application, report card, and teacher recommendation.

St. Mary’s second new Program, Summer Performing Arts Camp, premieres this year under the direction of Mr. Andrew J Koslosky, Chairman of The Josephine Foundation. Similar to the school year curriculum offering, students will investigate the vocabulary and creative potential of performance techniques through dance, voice, and acting in this five-week program.

Students will learn various techniques through in-class technical instruction, practices and performances. This course will focus on preparation for the final performance upon completion of the Camp. All courses are taught by certified instructors, many of whom are Broadway professionals.

St. Mary’s renowned Sports Camps continue this year under the direction of Mr. Matt Panetta and will once again include lacrosse, dance/cheer, basketball, and the always popular all sports camp. Additionally, St. Mary’s invites you to check out several new special interest camps including culinary art, studio art, jazz and rock camps as well as Irish step dancing! No matter your interest, St. Mary’s truly does have something to offer to everyone!

Summer Leadership Program Fee: $1,000 9:00 am - 3:00 pm Monday - Friday June 29 - July 31 The Saint Mary’s Summer Leadership Program is an enrichment curriculum that integrates educational, spiritual, and leadership development for young men and women entering the eighth grade. This five week program is geared towards rising eighth graders and runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 – 3:00 PM. In the tradition of the Marist Brothers of the Schools and Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we seek to create a community of young adults who possess a zeal for education as evidenced by their character, leadership, and commitment to academics. The Leadership Program calls for educational work in the morning followed by a variety of recreational activities in the afternoon. While academic enrichment is a major component of this Program, equally important is a focus on the students’ spiritual and leadership development.

The students will engage in activities and coursework that encourage the development of their intellect and individuality. The culmination of these efforts will be a Leadership Seminar and Retreat at the end of the Program. Acceptance to this program is on a limited basis.

ADMISSIONS Admission to the Summer Leadership Program requires the completion of an application accompanied by the student’s most recent report card, and one teacher evaluation form. The application and recommendation form can be downloaded from our website, www.inspiredthinkers. org. Simply go to the Student Life tab and locate the required forms. Acceptances with registration material will be sent the week of May 28.

REGISTRATION & FEE Students are notified of their acceptance to the Program by the end of May and the mandatory Orientation Night will take place on Wednesday, June 10. The cost for this program is $1,000 and will include all books and instructional material, field trips and a t-shirt.

COURSE OF STUDY The program will focus on strengthening the students’ Mathematics, Reading, and English language arts skills. Students will apply the skills acquired in their coursework through the integration of technology and handson learning. Students will see the logical

reasoning required to move a robot, or explore how to create their own iPad app. There will be a component of the program that looks to develop the individual’s leadership skills as well. Beyond these core courses, elective course are offered around the interest of our teachers. They could be anything from art to robotics, again dependent upon the instructor.

FIELD TRIPS Throughout the summer there will be a number of field trips. On the day of a field trip the campers will wear their St. Mary’s Camp shirts, and generally will run the same length of time as a regular day. A trip to the DNA Learning Center in Cold Spring Harbor may help a student learn about his or her genetic makeup, while a visit to the Queens Museum of The Moving Image creates an opportunity for students to explore the art of film making and its history.

LEADERSHIP SEMINAR & RETREAT Students will participate in an extended day retreat toward the end of the Program. The faculty and administration of the Program will serve as guides for the young men and women on this day of spiritual and leadership development. The students will take part in an array of team building activities and look to grow in their own self-confidence and faith.

RECREATION The students will attend class in the morning followed by an afternoon of recreation. Saint Mary’s has three full size gymnasiums as well as an all-turf lacrosse/soccer field. There will be plenty of space and time for your child to get outside and enjoy some healthy competition.

ATTENDANCE Due to the nature of the Program, students are expected to be present everyday. If a student is absent three or more days he or she may be removed from the Program. In the case of an absence the School must be notified at 516.627.2711, ext. 1129.
