FAIS Summer Camp complements the School’s curriculum and mission, with instruction in both French and English, unless otherwise noted. Camp teachers make great use of our beautiful campus, which includes a nature trail and outdoor classrooms, Discovery Park, two art studios, a music room, and two computer laboratories. Your children will learn new skills, have unusual adventures, and bond with one another. Our theme-based camps combine hands-on activities, singing, sports, art, and music, science, computer programming, theater, and more. Our wide range of activities, matched with our international curriculum and grounds, are sure to spark an interest in your child. There is truly something for everyone.
Check-in
All campers and their parents/guardians must check in at the beginning of the first day of camp in the Summer Camp Office. Check-in opens at 8:00 a.m. If your child is attending morning care, please check-in prior to dropping them off.
Camp Hours
Regular camp hours are 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Before-camp care is complimentary beginning at 8:00 a.m. Instructors will pick up their campers and accompany them to the camp location at 8:45 a.m. At the end of the day, parents may come to the classrooms to pick up their children starting at 3:15 p.m. At 3:30 p.m., all campers will be accompanied to aftercare. Aftercare is available until 5:00 p.m. at a drop-in rate of $11/hour, billed by the minute. Families will be billed $1/minute for any campers remaining after 5:00 p.m. Be sure to sign your child in and out with the adult on duty.
Lunch and Snacks
Just like during the school year, lunch is available through our partners at Refueled Kids. Details on how to order lunches will be communicated closer to camp dates directly by email to you. Please provide your child with a water bottle with their name on it. All campers eat lunch at noon. Preschool and prekindergarten campers will be provided with a morning snack by Summer Camp staff, but please pack a snack for them if they have dietary restrictions. You are welcome to pack a snack for older children. Please avoid nuts and especially peanut butter in lunches and snacks; some children have severe allergies.
