Riverstone International School
2016 Summer Activities
|
Dear Parents and Grandparents,
Summer vacation is finally here! Plan for your child or grandchild to spend some of their time with us here at Riverstone. We have one week of summer camps during the week of August 8 - 12 that will be full of fun, engaging, and interesting options for children of all ages.
Explore!
We design our camps and activities to provide children and teens with opportunities to explore personal interests or try something for the first time. Art, cooking, writing, and basketball are just a few of the options!We also partner with Huntington Learning Center to offer an SAT Prep Class that is designed specifically for our students. This unique course has been taken by many Riverstone students and has proven to be beneficial; ultimately this group class is less expensive for our families than if you were to pay for individual test preparation courses. Added bonus: our students enjoy the camaraderie.
Build friendships!
Children play, ask questions, create, move and learn together in a safe, small, and challenging setting that fosters community and friendships.
Invite a friend!
Camps are open to the community, so please feel free to invite a friend. We also have had campers who are visiting grandparents join us -- all are welcome.
Enroll today!
A complete list of our camps and activities may be found below.
You may also download a listing with a registration form or email me directly to register for a class.
In order to ensure appropriate class sizes and allow time to prepare materials, we ask that you register by Friday, July 8.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
We look forward to meeting our campers! Enroll today and join the fun!
