WALKING FIELD TRIPS: St. Paul’s close proximity to many Oconomowoc recreational sites provides the opportunity for walking field trips. Parents are asked to sign a general walking permission slip that allows your child to be escorted to and from places including, but not limited to Fowler Park, Imagination Station, Oconomowoc Public Library, City Beach, The Children’s Play Gallery, Bender Beach, and downtown Oconomowoc businesses like Mullen’s Ice Cream, Gelosi Gelato, Whelan’s and the Great Harvest Bread Company. Parents will receive a schedule of the coming week’s walking field trip plan.
READING PROGRAM: We will offer reading programs throughout the summer and will tag along with the Oconomowoc Public Library’s Summer Reading Program that will allow children to log their reading minutes on the library’s tracking form and return to the library for rewards. Each student is encouraged to obtain their own public library card prior to the start of Summer Day Camp.
READING CHALLENGE: Student’s reading time will be logged into an online reading challenge program. This reading program will be used to track your child’s reading throughout the summer while at Summer Day Camp and will provide activities to encourage reading. The children will chart their own progress and receive incentives along the way too!
T-SHIRTS: We ask that students participating in the Summer Day Camp purchase a t-shirt that will be worn when we go on our walking field trips. This is to help us identify our students and keep close track of them.
