Traditional Camp Schedule

SUMMER IN THE CITY

Traditional Camp is available to students Toddler – 5th grade from 7:15 a.m. – 6 p.m. throughout the summer. Through the day, we’ll do traditional camp activities based on the theme, but we also incorporate fields trips (NEW THIS YEAR), literacy, games, arts, free time, etc. We split traditional camp into two age groups: Toddler – PreS and PreK – 5th.

The Great Campout: (June 5 – 9)

Show Biz Kidz (July 17 – 21)

Just because St. Paul’s is in the middle of the city doesn’t mean we can’t have a good old fashioned campout! The tents will come indoors and the s’mores will taste just as good as we experience what it’s like to “sleep under the stars”. Campers will enjoy both indoor and outdoor camping activities from flash light tag to capture the flag.

We’ll write letters home and make friendship bracelets too! All this camping fun will make you want to gather around a bonfire and sing Kumbaya.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to perform on stage? Do you enjoy singing songs, telling jokes, or showing off your dance moves? Join Summer in the City as we hit the stage and showcase all of our amazing talents.

We will play drama games, learn fun dances, and maybe master a magic trick or two. Our week will end with a talent show that will be sure to amaze!

Never Neverland (July 24 – 28)

Pull out your cowbells and get your hoedown on; it’s time to get down on the farm! Join us for a pig snortin’ good week as we engage in exciting barnyard-themed activities.

From practicing milking a cow to making homemade fresh butter, campers will finish camp feeling like they could work on Old MacDonald’s farm.

When you wish upon a star your dreams come true – and Summer in the City invites you to wish and dream Disney style in this fairy dust-filled camp. From Snow White to Finding Nemo, there is something for everyone during this magical week. Campers will get to dress like their favorite Disney characters, play Disney-themed games, and maybe even cook up some Disney-themed treats! Dreams will definitely be coming true during Never Neverland Camp!

Lab Rats: (June 19 – 23)

Back to Nature (July 31 – Aug 4)

Science is all around us, and this week our campers will get to experiment with it! We will perform various experiments and hone some engineering skills to get in touch with our geeky side. Brains will fill with curiosity as campers inquire, test, and track different experiments throughout the week. Time to get messy and smarter!

It’s time to get wild with this hands on week including all things nature! We will learn all about critters and creatures that roam the globe and that roam in our own backyards. We’ll work in our community garden, go on nature hunts, and hug a few trees. Hands will get dirty and nature explorers will be born during this exciting and interactive week.

We will learn about the history of our country with star-spangled games and projects and end the week with a birthday celebration fit for the land of the free!

This week, our KC campers will experience all that our great city has to offer. Campers will design their own fountains, taste various barbecue sauces, and shout the Royals, Chiefs or Sporting chant to their hearts’ content. Get ready to wear your favorite KC gear and learn why Kansas City is one of the best cities around.
