School ends for OCS students on June 10!! And, we've got day camp options for June 11 and 12.

School's Out Fun Day Camp provides a safe, nurturing, and fun place for children to go when school is out.

Daily schedule includes a blend of staff-led organized activities and self-directed child-led play, keeping each day of camp fun and different. The program encourages socialization and trying new things.

Based on the weekly theme, students will partake in a wide variety of age-appropriate activities to learn numbers, letters, colors, rhythm, and science.

Classroom instruction balances both child-directed, play-based learning and teacher-led, small-group activity.
