Changes to Our Program
Our program looks a little different this year due to the ongoing pandemic. In order to ensure the safety of our campers and our staff we have suspended our full-day programs as well as our before care and after care.
This summer our campers will be attending SDEDS Summer Camp in classroom cohorts, limiting their exposure to other children and other staff members. Our core hours are 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. SDEDS will be offering a Lunch Bunch, for and additional fee, where students can stay for lunch (brought from home), play time and stories until 1:00 p.m.
Our camp themes this year will be running bi-weekly to really immerse our campers in their learning experience (with the exception of the first week). It is not required to sign up for both weeks of the theme. You are free to sign your child up for whichever weeks you would like.
To better server our early childhood campers, our age group will be 2-6 this year (age on the first day of camp, June 13).
Please do not hesitate to contact our Camp Director with any questions or concerns: info@sdeds.org
