Summer Choices

At Village Academy North we give you the broadest range of Summer Choices for your child.  From ages 4-13, we have it planned – and we have more experience with Summer than any other child care center is the county.  So please read on and decide what is the best Summer Choice for your child – Summer Camp, Curiosity Camp, or Summer VPK.

Summer Camp

Once again, the best summer camp experience in Northeast Florida will be at Village Academy North.  Come pick up your passport, and join us on a fun-filled, action-packed journey Around The World.  Each week, we will explore the culture of  another country, while enjoying indoor and outdoor sports and games, weekly field trips, swimming,  and arts and crafts.  We also have special activities like our famous Olympics week, dress-up days, and this year, our end-of-camp UN Carnival!

To better serve the needs of our parents in this challenging economy, we offer several part-time Summer Camp options.  Your child may attend 2, 3 or 5 days per week.  There is only a 2-week minimum, and your rate will drop beginning with the 6th week of attendance.    We do need you to commit to the days your child will attend each week so that we can manage our total attendance.

Call 904.824.7997 soon – we are limited to 25 campers.

Curiosity Camps

Last year we introduced Curiosity Camps, and they were so popular we had to offer extra sessions.  We are proud to bring them back again this year.

Curiosity Camps are 1-week summer mini-camps for ages 4-7.  Camp meets daily from 9-12.  There is no registration fee, and the price is $75 for each Camp.

This year’s Camps should be even more fun than last year:

• Dr Gooey’s Science Lab – a hands-on, messy, noisy fun-filled week of
  experiments that makes science come alive! (Jun 14 – Jun 18)
• Iron Chefs:  Learn about food from around the world by mixing, measuring, preparing and tasting. (Jun 21 – Jun 25)
• Van “GO” Arts and Crafts – Explore colors and expression with painting, 3D and Junk Art, and a field trip to Cummer Museum. (Jun 28 – Jul 2)
• Sing It! Play It! Shake It! – An energetic introduction to music, musical instruments, hip hop dancing, and more.  (Jul 12 – Jul 16)
• Where in the World is Carmen St Augustine? – Around the world in only 5 days with an exciting and fun introduction to cultures from across the globe (Jul 19 – Jul 23)

Summer VPK

For the third year in a row, St Johns County Public Schools has contracted with Village Academy North to provide Summer VPK.  If your child missed out on School-Year VPK and will attend Kindergarten starting in August, then this is the program for you.  VPK has proven to enable children to be better prepared for elementary school, and you owe it to your child to help them be as ready as their peers.

Summer VPK is a 300-hour, state funded program that is open to children that will be attending Kindergarten in August but who have not attended School Year VPK.  There is no cost to parents.  We only employ degreed, accredited, experienced teachers in our Summer VPK program.  And we use the same curriculum provider as the St Johns County

Classes begin June 14th and end August 20th.  They meet daily from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm.
