Each week of the summer program the students will receive a syllabus outlining daily activities for parental information. Due to the unpredictability of weather, a concrete syllabus will be made available for parents no sooner than one week prior to implementation.
While each morning 9 am 1:30 pm will be fun, yet academic, the afternoon will be reserved for outdoor activities ranging from kickball to good old fashioned baseball. The students will swim 2-3 times per week. The students will also be given the opportunity to participate in activities such as tennis, badminton and four-square.
