ATHLETIC CAMPS St. Laurence Virtual Camps During this terrible pandemic, we truly hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with all of those affected by COVID-19 and all of the medical professionals, 1st responders, and essential workers who are working to keep us all safe. As St. Laurence continues to thrive despite the current situation, we are constantly looking for ways to engage with grade school students! While we all share in the disappointment of not being able to gather in person and play the sports we all love with our friends and teammates, we wanted to provide opportunities for you to continue your development. To that end, we are extremely excited to announce our virtual summer camp offerings! We are happy to once again offer a wide array of academic and athletic camps — there is truly something for everyone. All camps will be offered via Zoom. Campers will need an electronic device with internet in order to access our virtual camps. Zoom links will be emailed to the email address used for registration the night before the camp begins. Thank you for choosing St. Laurence virtual summer camps!
Sincerely, Tim Chandler Athletic Director
