Summer Knights
Join us at St. Mary's Ryken for Summer Knights camps! Camps run June 16 - August 1 and Summer Knights offers opportunities for students aged 5 -15.
Sports Camps
SMR Sports Camps are facilitated by SMR coaches. These camps are for campers who want to learn a new sport or improve their skills. Campers are challenged in a fun and competitive environment and are mentored by SMR students throughout the week. Most camps are for children in grades K - 12th. Although these camps are mixed by grade, students will be split by age and ability. Most of these camps can be an extension (with a small additional fee) of the Activity Camp that your child is already enrolled in.
Activity Camps
Our traditional day camp for children aged 5 - 15 runs for 7 weeks during Summer Knights from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Our activity camp offers a variety of activities for campers including arts, sports and enrichment activities. Activities will vary day to day, including inside and outside activities and vary depending on weather.
Your child has the option each week during activity camp to add on a specialty camp. These options are chosen during registration and occur during the morning or afternoon depending on the type of activity.
