  • Camps provide a great opportunity for kids to participate in unstructured play and enjoyable messy activities.

  • You may enroll your child(ren) in any number of sessions.

  • Each child brings a nut-free Bento Box with snacks from home. We will accommodate other allergies as well.

If this is your family’s first time signing up at SPNS, participating adults must submit the TB Risk Assessment Form found here:

Children planting flowers in a garden with small tools, wearing casual clothes, in an outdoor setting.

Due to the high demand for summer camp, SPNS will implement a priority admissions model; details can be found on the registration form. Spots are confirmed only after payment is received. For summer 2025, refunds will be issued only if the school cancels the session. The best way to make a payment is via Zelle; find us using admin@spnskids.org
