Sliding Out of Summer
Splish splash, school is almost here! To celebrate a wonderful summer at CampSTJ, our campers and staff cooled down with waterslide fun. We love CampSTJ!

Ice Ice Baby!
This week, our Camp STJ campers beat the summer heat with a local favorite, Nancy’s Italian Ice. We’ve had such a blast enjoying the laid-back fun, games, and educational programming at Camp STJ.

It's a Great Day at Camp STJ!
#WeAreSaintJamesSchool
We have had the best start to our summer with fun at Camp STJ. Currently enrolled Saint James students and children from the community have been enjoying an active summer with learning games, dancing, programmed play, and lots and lots of laughter! It’s a great day at Camp STJ!
New Rules, Same Fun!
Things look a little different this year at Camp STJ. Of course our campers are having a blast playing with friends, visiting the library, participating in science experiments, dancing and singing, and all of the other exciting camp activities. We have worked hard to provide an enriching summer environment while making safety our top priority. Each morning, before students enter the building, they have their temperatures checked to be sure no one who exhibits sick symptoms comes inside. Students and camp staff also wear their mask of choice throughout the day. We practice good hand washing habits and sterilize and sanitize multiple times per day during camp hours. We may have new rules at camp, but it is the same fun we have grown to love! It’s a great day at STJ!

Camp STJ Fun in the Science Lab
Our Camp STJ campers had a blast visiting the elementary science lab. Led by science lab coordinator, Ms Shaffer, the students participated in an activity called “Sink or Float?” Ms. Shaffer showed them different objects and asked the students to predict whether each item would sink or float. Then, each child tested each object. Finally, they discussed their results. The children were excited to share ideas about why some object float. They came up with things like: how heavy an object is or what it is made of. Of course, it wouldn’t be a trip to the science lab without visiting our animal friends.
We love science lab in the summer! #WeAreSaintJamesSchool

Wednesdays are for Library Time!
We love Wednesdays in the summer at STJ! Mr. Martin, our elementary librarian, hosts story time on special Wednesdays while school is out. The students love visiting our beautiful library space and hearing stories, complete with fun theatrical voices from Mr. Martin.

Students are encouraged to check out a book or two to bring home and read with their parents.
