Summer@TCA

Welcome to our 2022 Summer@TCA! We are so excited to offer our most diverse and enriching menu of classes ever! Trinity Christian Academy has made a commitment to deliver programs through the summer months that will support learning, enhance skills and even brighten the sunniest Texas summer day! TCA is committed to share the highest quality classes and camps with children in the safest possible way while attempting to create an overall program that is convenient for our families who choose to attend.

Summer should be a fun time for children and a nice break from the rigors and routines of the academic year. TCA recognizes it is important for kids to be able to connect with other children for their social-emotional well-being while balancing an ever-growing need to stay on academic track during the “off months.” Summer@TCA is proud to offer high quality Lower School and Middle school programs that include a day camp for Lower School kids, sports training sessions for both lower-schoolers and middle-schoolers and various academic enrichment opportunities so kids can hone those skills and stay on top of their academic progress during the summer. Upper School students can choose from a variety of classic summer school courses that potentially count for school credit, may give a student some necessary guidance with next year’s subject matter or may just give our young adults an opportunity to explore a new area of interest.

Take some time to look through the list of camps and classes and their descriptions as outlined in the Summer@TCA catalog to see what’s available for your child during the summer of 2022. Registration for summer sessions can be accessed online through the TCA website and on the Summer@TCA Resource Board.

General Schedule Information: • Before-camp care is available for anyone needing care before 8:50 each day, starting at 8 a.m. This service is provided at a rate of $25 per week. ●• Children entering grades K–5 can choose to stay all day (9 a.m.–4 p.m.) at our Trojan Day Camp! Small, grade-level groupings will remain at camp all day (there is not a half-day option) and rotate through amazing summer activities that will include worship time, art, movement, STEM, Bible study and maybe even some water activities and inflatables throughout the week! Space is limited!

●• We will run a carpool pick-up line at noon for those students leaving campus at that time. ●• Students who will attend an afternoon camp on the same day they will be on campus for a morning session should plan to pack a lunch and stay with us from noon to 1 p.m. for that same fun lunchtime experience. There is a $20 fee for the week to campers who are staying on campus between morning and afternoon camps for the lunch session. ●• Students who choose to attend an “afternoon only” camp or class are also welcome to join their grade level for lunch at noon each day. Those students will be directed to their afternoon camp/class location at the conclusion of the lunch/recess session. The $20 weekly fee is required for those students wanting to extend their time as a Summer@TCA luncher. ●• At 1 p.m., all campers not attending an afternoon session or a full-day camp session will be conveniently picked up through a staff-run carpool line outside the Upper School building. ●• Students staying through the afternoon will be conveniently picked up through a carpool pick-up line at 4 p.m. each day.

2022 Summer COVID Protocols: TCA is hopeful to be able to offer all of the summer camps uninterrupted. At the time of publication of this brochure, TCA is not anticipating requiring masking, social distancing or contact tracing this summer. TCA will not conduct any daily health screenings; however, if your child is not feeling well, please keep him/her home.

Please note, there may be a change to scheduling, programs offered and how programs are conducted, depending upon the community spread, if any, of COVID-19. In the event a camp/class is cancelled, refunds will be provided for a portion of a camp or class that is cancelled due to the pandemic.

We are excited to see your child at Summer@TCA 2022!

Thank you,

●• Lower School and Middle School students can also choose from a wide variety of “morning only” camps (9 a.m.–noon) and “afternoon only” camps (1–4 p.m.). ●• Half-day campers can choose to extend their day by one hour if they so choose to stay for lunch from noon to 1 p.m. each day. Students will be supervised while they eat and will then be given time to play and/or watch a movie (depending on the weather). There is a $20 fee per week for half-day campers to stay for lunch. We will require all participants to pack their own lunch.

• If a camp or class is canceled by the school for any reason, a refund for an appropriate portion of that camp will be issued to the participant.

• Campers’ first choices will be honored, if possible.

Full refunds will be given if a camp is cancelled due to low enrollment and no alternative camp is chosen.

• You should assume that your registration is confirmed unless we contact you prior to the start date. We will contact all registrants whose schedules need adjustments (if a camp is underenrolled or if your child has been wait-listed) two weeks prior to the start date of the scheduled camp session to arrange the necessary changes.

• Students registered for camps and classes through Summer@TCA will be contacted by a coach, teacher or administrator no less than a week prior to the start of the camp to fill you in on all the latest details.

More Schedule Information

• All morning campers will be escorted to the Upper School Cafeteria after their morning sessions for a supervised lunch, movie and/or playground time from noon to 1 p.m. (A $20 fee for the week will be charged for those who choose to stay for the lunch hour.) If your child needs to be picked up earlier than the 1 p.m. carpool, please park in the north lot behind the Upper School and call the number posted on the signs to alert us you have arrived to pick up your child.

• Please print your carpool sign from the camp confirmation email received prior to the start of your child’s camp week and place it on the dashboard of your vehicle. This indicates to us that you are the legal pick-up person for the child who is listed on the sign.

• If you should need to pick up your child at any other time during the camp day, please contact the telephone number posted on the signs around campus to determine the location of your child.

• If anyone other than those legally listed on the registration page is going to pick up your child from camp, you will need to provide a note granting permission to another person.

Upper School Technology Summer school for-credit “tech” courses are designed to help students ease the congestion of the regular school year by “off-lining” some of their required courses to the summer. Other students may simply wish to augment their education or explore new interests. All courses are hands-on, project-oriented and focus on real-life scenarios and applications. Often projects integrate topics from other TCA courses for extra reinforcement.

Regardless of where you are in the technology spectrum, we offer something for you.

Reasonable keyboarding skills are presumed. Generally speaking, all assignments are completed in class with very little (if any) outside work required.

Parents take note: If you wish to explore these interests too, you are welcome to join us. See US Technology Head Kent Pendleton for details.

Teachers, do you need to improve your technology skills? Join us. You can learn the practical uses of software and get some professional growth hours in, as well. Use software to make your professional life easier.

All summer school technology students are requested to bring their TI calculators, a spiral notebook (journal), a three-ring binder, a pencil, pen and USB flash drive to class the first day. A “supply check” that first day will be one of your first grades for the week, so don’t forget your stuff! Also, please bring a sack lunch and a drink... refrigerators will be available. Students will also bring snacks to class on a rotating basis.

Credit cannot be given if a student misses more than four hours of class.

Middle/Upper School Athletic Training Athletic Development Training—Essential for All Athletes

Athletes need to be developed. Expecting them to “just be ready” or to get in shape during season is preparing them to fail. No other program will prepare your athlete for his or her future in sports at TCA better than the summer program at TCA with Motive8 Athletics. All athletes need self-confidence, development and “know-how” to safely prepare to perform. Skill is essential, but the speed and strength at which those skills are executed determines the level of play.

Summer Athletic Development Training gives athletes the best opportunity to learn, develop and master safe, technically sound training practices. Athletes will make tremendous improvements in athleticism and fitness while gaining confidence in a fun, safe environment with peers. They will be better prepared for their sports and learn principles that will serve them well long after the summer.

Pricing Format: Come as much as you can all summer for $245. The goal is to get all athletes training throughout the entire summer! Come often and bring friends.
