OA Update: We’ve started to receive inquiries about our Summer Enrichment offerings. We are excited that our summer enrichment schedule provides more offerings than previous summers for OA students from Pre-K through 12th grade.
We are currently in the process of finalizing the schedule, but you can begin planning now. Look for registration to open the week of May 23rd. Our summer enrichment camps will include four and five-day options, beginning July 11th and ending August 19th.
The daily schedule will remain the same as in previous years (unless otherwise noted per camp):
Breakfast: 8:00-8:30
AM Session: 8:30-11:30
Lunch: 11:30-12:00
PM Session: 12:00-3:00
Breakfast and Lunch are FREE for ALL students attending a camp or not.
The district will provide transportation before Breakfast and again following the last program of the day (3:00). Mid-day pick-up/drop-off will be the responsibility of families.
