Summer Crest

My children have attended summercrest for two summers and say that it is by far their favorite camp all summer. It’s run by teachers who are passionate about teaching and the class sizes are very small so the kids get incredible attention. My boys (ages 9 and 7) love the subjects taught – this year they took classes like forensics, java programming, leadership/​strategy, yoga and cartooning. I love that they are learning during the summer, making friends and gaining confidence. It’s a safe and welcoming environment held at Dixie School. I also love that it’s two three-​week sessions so they really go deep within their subjects. I highly recommend this camp.

SummerCrest is a wonderful, one-​of-​a-​kind experience for kids (K-​6) who love to learn and have great fun at the same time. Our two daughters absolutely loved it. What makes it so special is the staff, and the approach to creating a structured experience without it being rigid. The camp is staffed by teachers from the Dixie and surrounding districts, who are already some of the most well-​liked and capable teachers anywhere. The fact that they do this largely as a labor of love, speaks volumes for the kind of experience you can expect for your kids.
From drama to art, to Harry Potter as a catalyst to creative writing and performing projects (one daughter’s favorite), computer programming, photography and more, there is something here for every child, and then some. We found this to be such a refreshing change from the pumped-​up playground environment of some other camps (not that that’s bad, and our kids have done those camps too, but they preferred having activities with managed goals rather than a free-​for-​all).
Bottom line, this is a great way for kids to spend 3 (or 6) weeks of summer!
