Summer Programs
We are excited for another summer at St. Andrew’s! We look forward to welcoming back last year’s campers and introducing new campers to our wide variety of summertime offerings. Like our school, St. Andrew's summer programs are intentionally small. This enables us to provide a thoughtful, tailored, and joyful experience for every child. The majority of our summer staff are part of the St. Andrew's community — from the program directors who are also full time school faculty to the program assistants who are either students or young alumni. Together they inject our summer programs with the same spirit of uncommon kindness, friendship, and fun that characterizes our school.
If you have any questions about our summer offerings or registration, please do not hesitate to contact Matt Peal, director of summer programs, at mpeal@standrews-ri.org or 401.246.1230 ext 3298. Early drop off is available starting at 7:45 am, and extended day is available from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Please note that our June 22-26 camps have been canceled, but as of now, we still plan to open our summer camps starting in July. Our campers' safety and health is a top priority for us. We will continue to follow all state and Department of Health regulations and guidelines regarding operations during the COVID-19 outbreak. Families enrolled in camps that have been cancelled due to restrictions related to COVID-19 will receive a full refund.

This camp will push participants to challenge themselves mentally and physically on our new and improved Adventure Ropes Course. Teamwork skills will be stressed throughout the week, as campers will be required to work together to conquer both low and high ropes challenges. All campers must be ready to place their trust in others, to face personal fears, to try new things and expand the boundaries of their known comfort zones, and to laugh and have fun with others. The week will also include exposure to other adventure activities such as rock climbing, kayaking, and paddleboarding.
Low Ropes Elements include: The Mohawk Walk, Wild Woozy, Nitro Crossing, Electric Fence, Spiders Web, and more.
High Ropes Elements include: Zip Line, Pirates Crossing, Lily Pads (New), Multi Vine, Pamper Pole, Vertical Playground, and more.
Lifelong Adventure Camp

July 13-17; August 3-August 7
9am-3pm
Cost: $350/week
Over the course of this week, campers will be exposed to a variety of adventure activities that a person can engage in for a lifetime. We will spend all of our days outdoors exploring Rhode Island and enjoying the challenges and thrills each activity offers. We will start the week with an introduction to the sport of rock climbing, both indoor and outdoor, and then move to the water for a day of kayaking and a day of paddleboarding. To finish the week, we will spend a day in the woods hiking. Campers will have a lot of fun and leave with the desire to continue the pursuit of these activities in the future.
Leadership Adventure Camp
Ages 10-15
August 10-14
9am-3pm
Cost: $350/week
During this camp, we will follow the basic structure of the Ropes Course Adventure Camp, with some elements of the Lifelong Adventure Camp added in, but our focus will be on developing leadership skills, and those will be stressed through the completion of all elements/activities. There will also be minor “class time” elements (journaling and discussions) mixed in to stress certain points of leadership. This camp will include one or two overnight stays (at the end of the week) that will allow all participants to practice the skills they have picked up over the course of the week and build additional skills. These stays will be optional for those that want an extra challenge, with a location to be determined. This camp has been designed for middle school students who wish to explore their leadership potential and has been intentionally scheduled for the end of summer to aid with, or enhance, the transition back into school.
