Washington and Lee University will host an annual on-campus summer youth program to assist with seasonal childcare for children in the Rockbridge community entering kindergarten through rising sixth grade.
The Little Scholars camp will run from June 16 to Aug. 1, and will be held Monday through Friday from 8:15 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Each week has a new theme; campers will be guided through various fun and creative activities, adventures, experiments, sports and building exercises that promise to engage and entertain. The program is offered for $260 per week for each child.
“By offering the Little Scholars summer camp on the W&L campus, we’re providing employees and community members with a reliable and convenient programming option while ensuring their kids have a fun and enriching summer experience,” said Jodi Williams, executive director of Human Resources. “We understand the challenge of finding consistent, all-day camps locally, and we hope this initiative will make the summer months easier.”
Drop-off and pick-up will be handled at the Davidson Park parking lot at 25 Estill Street in Lexington, and campers will participate in activities hosted at the Sigma Chi, Nuestro Hogar Latino and Kappa Sigma houses located at 216, 218 and 220 East Nelson Street, respectively.
Registration opened to the Rockbridge community this past Monday, March 24.
