VAA Summer Camp is now complete for summer 2022! See you next year!
Virginia Academy is launching a new four week summer camp program! Each week elementary school students can sign up for a different enrichment experience.
What is the camp experience?
Summer Camp drop off will be at Virginia Academy beginning at 8am and pick up will be 4-4:30pm. The first portion of the day will be completely devoted to the camp’s theme, whether it be basketball, art, STEM, or any of the other awesome experiences we have to offer!
Following lunch, your student will find a more traditional summer camp experience! Group games, activities, carnivals, and amazing trips are just some of the things that are coming their way! Each camp will go on at least three field trips during the week; we might visit the pool, a climbing park, a museum, or local national park. You can see the full daily schedule here.
