This year’s Summer Under the Oak is full of new and exciting opportunities for our campers. Our mission is to provide a safe, fun and enriching experience for all students. We invite you to review all of our programs, which are now categorized by academic achievement, the arts and athletics.

As you peruse this guide, you’ll notice more options for full-day and half-day programs. Many of the academic programs are half day during the morning hours and can be paired with an afternoon program to create a full and exciting week for your camper.

In the academic achievement center, we have added fabulous opportunities to give your child a great summer experience while still improving his academic skills. Whether you want to give your child a jump start for next year, learn about marine life in the Lafayette River or complete his high school chemistry in six weeks, these are all possible through the academic center.

Is your child curious about developing a video game or interested in designing and programming his own robot? Our hands-on experiential learning may be a great option.

We also have we have theater and choir camps for students of all ages at our Meredith Center for the Arts, complete with a variety of new, hands-on art classes each week.

In the Center for Athletics, we are offering a plethora of experiences such as fishing, hiking and ultimate sports.

In the upcoming pages, you’ll find all of the program descriptions with dates, times and ages. Once you have made your camp decisions, carefully complete all of the paperwork or visit www.norfolkcollegiate.org/ summerprograms to register. Please remember to include your child’s health form (State of Virginia: MCH-213E) or most recent physical form from your doctor along with the health/emergency form included in this brochure.

If you need additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Summer Under the Oaks office at 757.626.1820. We hope you will take advantage of these fantastic opportunities and join the Norfolk Collegiate family for a memorable summer!
