Everyone gathers each Friday at the end of the camp day for Friday Frolics, a time for special events, performances or concerts. The carnivallike atmosphere is not only a great way to end the week but gives campers and staff a chance to get together and engage in competitive and artistic activities with an outdoor theme.

St. Catherine’s Brilliant Summer Program holds an evening Family Festival for parents and visitors on July 6 for Session One participants and July 27 for Session Two participants. The festivals are a culmination of the campers’ efforts and provide an opportunity for children to display their artwork and perform music, dance and theatre productions.

On the first day of each session, students will receive a laminated copy of their schedule on the back of their name tag to wear each day of camp. All classes offered are subject to cancellation.
