Janney Plus Programs are excited to announce plans for Janney+Summer Camp. Registration is now open, and we're thrilled to extend the invitation to students at Lafayette!
|
Summer Camp will provide students a much needed opportunity to socialize and play while also engaging in exciting and fun vendor led programming. We’re bringing back one of our most popular enrichment vendors, Little Scholars LLC, to host our rotating daily workshops with weekly themes that include Art & Science, Magic & Movement, Discovery & Adventure, and Community & Innovation.
|
Kids will balance out their structured workshop and curated play time with opportunities for traditional free play and summer fun. All of this led by familiar Janney+ staff.
|
Though we will have access to and make use of the building, for the safety and comfort of families, we will plan for the majority of activities to occur outdoors. We will transform the Janney outside space into different outdoor classrooms and use the playground for free play and games. During inclement weather and extreme temperature days, we will move activities and workshops indoors. We will also plan for periodic indoor breaks for students to cool off in the air conditioned building, get water, and use the bathroom.
|
Janney+ Summer camp will run from July 12 to August 6. Families have the option to enroll in one or multiple weeks of camp. Families must enroll in the entire week of camp Monday-Friday. Families who would like to enroll their children in all four weeks of camp will receive about a 5% discount.
|
The price of camp (8:30-3:00pm) is $525 for the week, only $16 per hour! Extended day (3:00-5:30) is $100 per week, once again about 5% off if you enroll for all 4 weeks.
