Parental Engagement Pre-Camp Suggestion Invite

Dear Parent

We are delighted that your daughter has agreed to join us for the two-week Summer Camp in St Paul’s.

The Summer Camp will commence on 4th June and will run until 17th June. The camp will run from 10am to 3pm each day. For the students who usually avail of bus transport, I have applied for this to be extended for the two weeks of the Summer Camp. I will let you know once this has been confirmed. There will be two teachers and two SNA’s present for the duration of the Camp. I will be at the Camp every day, so if there is a need to contact me, please feel free to do so on 087 485 9452.

The theme of the Summer Camp will be ‘Building Confidence and Connections’. We intend the Summer Camp to be fun filled and enjoyable each day. I am planning activities that will link to the girl’s interests.

I attach below a provisional timetable of the Summer Camp. If you have any suggestions about what you would like us to include, please text me on the number above.

We will have two-day trips planned, one each week. One will be a day trip to the Zoo, and the other a day trip into St Stephen’s Green, The Disney Store and McDonald’s. Each day the girls will be preparing and cooking their own lunch, so we are looking forward to having a very busy kitchen! Again, any suggestions for the menu would be great.

Parental Review: Summer Camp 2024

“She gained more socialisation and skills”

“Moya-May totally enjoyed her self - they done so many things that moya-may would not have done like flying a kite cooking shopping for ingredients- also the relationship between teachers and students grow - moya-may has totally enjoyed their time in St Paul’s camp”

“Yes, I feel it’s really helps transition from school into the holidays”

“Yes, she had a lot of fun doing new things/games and life skills with her peers”

“Of course it's a trip to the Disney Store. She loves Disney characters”

“Moya-May is a full-time wheelchair user and unfortunately we neverthought of letting her fly a kite - she loved this - also she’s never been able to go on the normal swing - as she has low tone - but she was able to go on swing- she also loves helping out with the other kids too”

“The cooking/baking every day was a really big hit she really enjoyed that, and the guide dogs coming in was definitely a day she’s spoken about a lot”

“She loved the kite and her trip into town, also cooking, it makes her happy”

“It's hard to say, she can't say much about it. But she likes her class with the girls”

“Yes - even with the teachers and SNA it gives the kids a better relationship with them - and especially the other kids cause it’s a slower pace so they can enjoy a bit better”

“Yes, she seems to have formed a lovely friendship with 1 of girls they do some classes together in school but not a lot and it seems to have blossomed in the camp”

“Yes, she is getting to know everyone's characters”
