Summer Camp 101

Presented by: Maureen Giglio, Camp Acorn Manager and Mimi Branham, Director of The Carruth Center

The Parish School offers a fabulous summer program, Camp Acorn, that runs the month of June. Our summer language program offers classroom-based language therapy for children ages 2-12 who have communication delays and learning differences. Additionally, we offer Adventure Play at Camp Acorn, a unique opportunity for children with or without special learning needs to engage in self-directed, outdoor play and construct their own playground. With sibling day camp, and early morning and afternoon enrichment options as well, we have you covered!

The Parish School and The Carruth Center offer several summer program options that are open to Parish students and Carruth clients, as well as the greater community. Learn more about each of our day camps and sleepaway camps during this one-hour virtual session with our camp administrators. Find out what a typical day at camp looks like and get information on how to enroll your child.
