VIKINGS
Boys, Girls, and Co-ed Camps Available!
ATHLETIC CAMPS St. Laurence Gym Renovation We are excited to once again over a wide array of academic and athletic camps — there is truly something for everyone. We are also excited to be able to resume in-person camps. Rest assured that we will be following all state guidelines and restrictions and the health and well-being of your child is our top priority at camp. As St. Laurence continues to thrive, we are constantly upgrading all aspects of the school. To that end, we are happy to announce that our gym floor is being replaced this summer! We will have a brand new, state of the art floor for all current and future Vikings. While we can’t wait to show you the finished product, the process will take a number of weeks over the summer. Because of this, our gym will be unavailable for summer camps. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer grade school basketball and volleyball camps this summer. However, we will have basketball and volleyball offerings in the fall to replace the summer camps. We will be sure to keep you updated on all boys and girls basketball and volleyball offerings this summer and fall. Thank you for choosing St. Laurence summer camps! Sincerely, Tim Chandler Athletic Director
