Summer Panther Camp

If you are looking for an exciting place to have your children during the summer then the Mounds Park Academy Panther Camp is the place for you! Panther Camp runs from June 9th through August 20th, with the exception of the three weeks that we offer summer classes. During those weeks, you may sign your child up for a full day of classes with extended care in the morning and afternoon as options.

Each week is planned around a different theme with both indoor and outdoor activities that relate to that theme. We have air-conditioned facilities inside, a full use of a gym, and a kitchen for cooking projects. We are surrounded by 32 acres of land with a beautiful playground and enough grounds to facilitate all of the outdoor activities. Each week culminates with a Friday field trip. You may register your child for a day, a week, or the entire summer. If your child is really interested in the week’s theme, they will only experience the full scope of the theme by being present the entire week.

To view the weekly themes, please view the Summer 2008 Course Information link at the bottom of this page. Simply fill out the registration form and send it in with your check to secure your place. If your child is attending for the entire summer, you may pay for each month at the beginning of the month (so you would send in a check for June only at this time).

Panther Camp is open from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily and the fee is $55 each day or $225 for a week. Snacks and drinks are provided throughout the day, but children should bring their own cold lunch. The camp is intended for children grades Pre-K through 4th, but slightly older students have made great junior counselors in the program.

Summer Programs

Mounds Park Academy’s
Summer Program for 2008
Grades Pre-K through 9

Yes, that’s right – you can get STRAIGHT A’s at MPA this summer; Academics, Athletics and the Arts. Build and launch a rocket, learn a new language, play soccer, basketball or badminton, or try out your culinary skills. We have classes for all of these things and many more, so come and join us for an exciting summer . . . and get STRAIGHT A’s!

You may register for one, two or three weeks as the offerings vary each week (see registration forms below). During these three weeks, there will not be a Panther Camp but you may still make use of our before and after care program if you wish. Choose the weeks you would like your child to attend and decide on mornings, afternoons or full day. Then label the classes offered from one to five according to your child’s first through fifth choice within each session. There is nothing more to it--we take care of the rest! We will get your child in classes with other students of his/her age and ability, and make sure they get from one class to another. Any student staying for a full day will be supervised over lunch and recess, and be escorted to their afternoon classes. Bring your own bag lunch, but milk will be provided.

Each class runs for 90 minutes so students will attend two classes in the morning and two in the afternoon (unless otherwise specified). Classes fill on a first-come, first-served basis, and we will make every attempt to enroll your child in their first two or three choices if you register early.

Tuition during these three weeks is $175 for a week of half days or $300 for a week of full days, which includes the recess/lunch supervision. Morning classes run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and afternoon classes from 12:45 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. If your child needs before or after care, there is an additional $5 fee for each. The before-care and after-care opens at 7:00 a.m. and does not close until 6:00 p.m. All classes and programs run five days a week. All registrations should be completed by May 15th so we can staff our classes properly. There are no refunds for classes if you withdraw.

We hope to see you in this exciting summer program that boasts fun in Academics, Athletics and the Arts!
