St. Columba’s Day Camp
St. Columba’s Day Camp provides an opportunity for children ages 3 to 8 to interact as members of a group in a non-competitive atmosphere. Through a balance of adult-directed activities and child-initiated play, children are encouraged to play cooperatively, to learn about their world and to appreciate the wonderful diversity and common threads of life. The camp offers recreational activities to children of all faiths, without regard to race, color or national origin.

Theme for Summer 2013
This year's theme is “All Creatures Great and Small.” We will circle the globe to find adventure in other cultures’ literature, celebrations, creatures and places. We will appreciate the diversity and beauty of the world through music, art and literature. We will continue the old favorites that make St. Columba’s a throwback to the camps of our youth: singalongs, Water Field Day, picnics, cooking, plus our visiting artists’ program. In past years we have had exotic animal shows, musicians, dancers, storytellers from far and near, magicians and more! Our 7- and 8-year-old group will extend their exploration of the world with weekly field trips by Metro or bus to museums and other sights around this exciting city.
