Join Us for Summer 2023

Sharpen skills. Expand horizons.

Students emerge from our summer camps with new ideas, new skills, new friends and new inspirations. We provide a fun, affordable and enriching experience where elementary, middle school and high school-aged learners can focus on academics, the arts or athletics.

Led by Eastside Catholic faculty and coaches and other experts from the community, our summer camps build upon curriculum from the school year and encourage exploration and thinking in a completely new subject or activity. You do not need to attend Eastside Catholic to attend our summer camps.

Campers can attend a morning and afternoon camp on the same day with the option to remain on campus for a supervised lunch period between camps. Campers must bring their own, nut-free lunch each day.

Please Note: Some camps have limited space available. See descriptions for additional details.

Minecraft is a game with near-infinite replayability thanks to a large, dedicated community of modders.
