2019 Summer Program
Summer Trails & Lively Tales: Every week, a new chapter
MCH’s Summer Program has one overarching theme, and each week we explore it with
a new and unique experience. Campers have the free time – and the freedom – to explore what they’re passionate about. In addition to every day fun activities such as
art, Legos, and imaginative play; half-day, full day and extended day schedules allow campers time to have fun, get outside and create those memories that only summer
can bring.
MCH Camps are designed to build personal relationships and grow familiarity with our 5-acre campus. While our camps are always available to currently enrolled families,
they are also open to anyone interested in attending.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE MCH SUMMER PROGRAM
In addition to changing weekly themes and exciting End of the Week Celebrations, campers enjoy these perks:
FILL YOUR BOOK BAG Campers who want to purchase the book of the week have the option of selectively buying the book of the week OR ordering all of the books at once, filling their book bag. The filled book bag will be given to the camper on the first day of camp. TAKE PART IN THE SUMMER TRAILS & LIVELY TALES ‘READING PATH’ Summer Trails & Lively Tales campers will take part in our path to reading! Every time a camper reads the book of the week, they will earn a stamp, getting them one step closer to the end of the reading path. Once the ‘path’ is complete, the camper will earn a BONUS book at summer’s end. |
