Summer Camps at Guardian Christian Academy

During the summer, the pace changes.  In the place of school days and homework, families typically spend more time in leisure activities, going to the beach, and enjoying some down time.  But too much down time is not a good thing.  The body, mind, and spirit need to stay sharp; without it, skills are lost over the summer.

Guardian Christian Academy offers:

• Tutoring by licensed teachers
• Basketball Camp for rising 1^st-5^th Graders
• Basketball Camp for rising 6^th-12^th Graders
• Soccer Skills Camp for rising 1^st-5^th Graders
