Summer Day Camp at the Denver Inner City Parish provides affordable, quality summer activities for 35 to 65 children, ages 6 to 13 in an ten-week program starting in June through the beginning of August. Children are provided with breakfast, lunch and a snack during the camp through a Federal Free Lunch Program. Costs per child for the entire program are based on a sliding scale fee. The kids participate in the Denver Public Library Summer Reading Project, swimming lessons, trips to museums and the mountains, as well as crafts and other activities. The program runs from 7:45am to 5:30pm each business day and our rates are considerable low and range from $20 to $150 per week, depending on how many children each parent has enrolled. We also accept families who receive Colorado Child Care Assistant benefits (CCCAP).
The Summer Day Camp’s goals are to offer a structured and positive summer program that reinforces the education which students receive in school; to provide activities throughout the day that keep the kids active and away from the streets, and to give opportunities for the participants to learn about the world around them.
Although there is a growing number of child care options for working parents during summer months, the weekly cost of such care ranges from the very lowest at $50 to $125 per week per child; many of these programs charge additional fees for early drop-off and late pick up, ranging from $15-$25 per week. |
