RCA Summer Camps – Regina Coeli Academy

L ooking for wholesome, Christ-centered summer camps? Hoping to find a community of like-minded families?

Regina Coeli Academy is delighted to host two weeks of summer camps in 2023, with a variety of choices for varying ages and interests. Aligning with Regina Coeli Academy’s mission of forming joyful saints, our summer camps will pursue Goodness, Truth and Beauty in the world and friendships around us. Camps will include Vacation Bible School, Basketball, Crafting, Science, and STEM.

WHO:

Camps are led by Regina Coeli Academy faculty as well as highly qualified parents who embody our mission.

WHERE:

Camps will take place at Regina Coeli Academy, both inside the building and outside as much as possible (weather dependent).

WHEN:

June 19-23, 2023 and July 17-21, 2023. Each week has a morning and an afternoon option, as well as a supervised “Lunch Bunch” option for children enrolled in both the morning and afternoon. The breakdown is detailed below.

HOW MUCH:

Each half day camp option is $175 (~$11.66 per hour) if you register on or before Saturday, April 1, 2023.

After April 1, 2023, the registration fee will increase to $200. Families who wish to register siblings will receive 20% off the original price (for each sibling), after the first full registration fee.

We also have two payment options: (1) pay in full upon registration (2) $75 at registration and then the balance by June 1, 2023.

Rising 7th and 8th grade students from Regina Coeli Academy are able to apply to volunteer with a camp for younger students, which earns 50% off the registration fee for one camp of their choice. To apply, complete the Volunteer Registration form below.

frequently asked questions

Who should I contact if I have questions or comments?

Summer camps at Regina Coeli Academy are run independently from the school’s front office staff. Please do NOT contact the RCA front office regarding summer camps. Should you have a question or concern please email SummerCamps@ReginaCoeliAcademy.com or call (215) 690-1810

What should my camper wear?

Campers should wear comfortable clothing appropriate for the camp they plan to participate in, and closed toed shoes. Keep in mind your child may be participating in activities that would make footwear such as flip flops unsafe. Additionally, campers should be dressed modestly. Any shorts must be no shorter than 3 inches above the knee and should not be skin tight. Skirts or dresses should touch the knee when standing. Shirts should not be sleeveless. T-shirts should be plain.

What should my camper bring?

All campers should bring water and a snack each day. If a camper is registered for both a morning and an afternoon camp, they should bring a packed lunch. An ice pack in their lunchbox is a good idea as we will not be able to put lunchboxes in a refrigerator. Please apply sunscreen at home prior to camp.

What time does camp take place during the week?

Each camp is 3 hours in total. Each morning session begins at 8:30am and ends at 11:30am. Each afternoon session begins at 12:30pm and ends at 3:30pm.

Who will be leading the camps and do they have security clearances?

Most of the camp leaders are RCA faculty, and their biographies can be found on the RCA Faculty Page. Science Camp is run by an RCA parent who is a PharmD with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. All summer camp staff and volunteers have completed their Safe Environment security clearances.

Do I have to pay in full when registering?

No, we ask for $75, per child, per camp, to hold your camper’s spot. The balance must be paid by June 1.

What is the refund policy?

A full refund can be issued if requested in writing by June 1. After June 1 full refunds will be issued if the camper’s spot can be filled, otherwise, a 50% refund of the amount you have paid may be issued.
