WELCOME!

to First Presbyterian Day School’s summer camp program. Through our summer programs, we strive to inspire young athletes, scholars, and artists in a faith-based, Christ-centered environment. We have camps for all ages and interests. Please review the enclosed information and choose the camp that best suits your child.

In addition to summer camps, we also offer a Summer Day Care program. We understand that camps don’t always fit into your work schedule. With FPD’s Summer Day Care program, you can be assured that your child will be well taken care of before and after their scheduled camp and that a Day Care employee will escort them safely to and from their camps at the correct time. More information about our Day Care program can be found on the back page of this book.

Once you make your camp selections, please fill out the registration form or visit our website to register online. Please note that camps are filled on a first come, first serve basis and spaces are limited. If you do submit your registration after the camp is full, you will not be charged for the camp or will receive a refund. For questions, please call our main office at 478.477.6505.

Thanks and Happy Camping!
