for rising first-third grade students

Designed as an extension of our Lower School program, St. Anne’s School’s Summer Stars Camp invites elementary-aged learners—rising First through Third Grade students—to chart their own summer journey through a camper-directed approach. Summer Stars is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and create lasting summer memories—one camper-chosen adventure at a time.

   

Each day begins and ends with a campfire-style gathering, but from there, the day is each childs to design. Choices are made every Monday morning, giving campers voice and ownership as they build a week filled with playful exploration, hands-on projects, and plenty of friendships and fun.

Activity offerings change weekly, allowing campers to join for multiple weeks—or the whole summer!—and enjoy a fresh experience each time.

 

let the adventures begin!

Arts & Crafts

Campers explore their creativity through hands-on art experiences such as nature-inspired crafts, tie-dye, watercolor painting, and jewelry making, with opportunities for both guided projects and open-ended creation.

 

Field Games

Campers engage in active, team-based play through games like lacrosse, flag football, and soccer, building coordination, teamwork, and sportsmanship in a fun, supportive environment.

Adventure & Team-Building

Through ropes course challenges and cooperative activities, Campers strengthen problem-solving skills, confidence, and collaboration while taking on age-appropriate physical challenges.

 

Creative & STEM Exploration

Campers participate in imaginative and inquiry-based experiences including drama, musical and instrumental sessions, and hands-on STEM projects that encourage curiosity, experimentation, and creative thinking.

Outdoor Fun

From water play to outdoor games and exploration, Campers enjoy time outside that promotes joyful movement, sensory play, and summer fun.
