Early Childhood Program
Students entering Preschool – Prekindergarten can look forward to a fabulous summer of fun at Giddens Summer BLAST Camp!
Each week offers a new and exciting theme designed to encourage kids to explore and engage their world.
Our program provides children with a safe and structured environment led by highly capable and nurturing teachers.
Giddens is a great place for children to enjoy all the fun that summer has to offer.
It is our goal to create a robust summer program while maintaining our high standards for risk mitigation. In the summer months, we are excited to take advantage of good weather and be outdoors as much as possible. Students will be grouped according to grade and not mix with other students while indoors. Students will have contact with a lead teacher, assistant teacher, and a recess/lunch supervisor outdoors. While outdoors, students may interact with other grades while maintaining physical distancing and handwashing protocols. We will be monitoring COVID numbers in our area and may make decisions as we get closer to the summer that slightly change the structure of camp.
All vaccine-eligible students, instructors, and support staff will be required to be fully vaccinated. Families may request an exemption from the vaccination requirement for their student for medical or religious reasons. For students who have a medical or religious exemption, a negative PCR test must be provided before the camp start date for each camp session.
Class sizes will remain small, students will continue to distance, wear masks, wash hands and surfaces frequently, and have ample outdoor time to mitigate risk. Because of this, we have limited space available.
