St. Jerome Summer Camp
June Newsletter & Reminders
From Mr. Stevens, Camp Director (camp@sjsphila.org)
Seems like just yesterday that we were in the beginning stages of planning camp. Hard to believe that in a few short weeks, we will be welcoming you and your child to what we are sure will be a great summer.
Thank you to all of the families who were able to make it out to our parent meetings that we held. We hope you found them informative. I know for me it was a chance to meet and hear any concerns that you had heading into the summer. For anyone that missed the meetings, the slides from the presentation can be found on our website under the summer camp tab.
The food menu has finally arrived. Please note on June 19th, there will be no food delivery as the city observed Juneteenth. Camp will still be open but you will need to pack a lunch for them that day. You can find the menus below.
For anyone who signed up for before care, the drop off for that will be on the ramp to the Blessed Mother building. (It is the building across from where we had our parent meetings. After 8:00 AM drop off will be down in the hall.
Ms. Madison sent out the ProCare emails this week. Please look for it and create an account when you get a second. She recommends downloading the app. From what we saw, each parent listed will have a different pin number. This is what we will use for sign in and sign out.
We hope to have all extra shirts before the start of camp for those that ordered. We look forward to seeing you on June 17th!
Mr. Stevens

Featured Activity: Academy of Natural Sciences
We can't wait for our trop to Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, where learning meets adventure! Imagine a place filled with dinosaurs, butterflies, and all kinds of creatures big and small. At the Academy, you can explore amazing exhibits that take you on a journey through millions of years of Earth's history.
Meet the towering skeletons of dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops in our Dinosaur Hall, where you'll learn about these incredible creatures that roamed the Earth long ago. Step into the Butterfly Garden and marvel at the colorful fluttering wings of hundreds of butterflies from around the world.
But that's not all! Dive into our dioramas, where lifelike scenes of animals in their natural habitats will transport you to faraway lands. From the depths of the ocean to the heights of the mountains, there's so much to discover and explore.
