Saint Francis of Assisi

New Lower Prices!

"Fun in the Sun" summer day-camp begins` its sixth summer of operation. It began as a program to give parishioners a safe and wholesome summer day care program for families that have working parents.  Run by Vicki Isabelle, the parish Religious Education Director, she and her staff have created a wonderful and fun environment for children under 13 years of age.  

This year the program has been filling up quickly, but there are still spots available.  The parish lowered the price by more then 20% and the great reputation that has developed over the years is beginning to spread around southern Manchester and Litchfield.  "We're only taking 40 children, the program is oriented towards families that need multiple days of day care for their children," says Vicki Isabelle, the program director. 

Although, now that the program has matured, Vicki and her staff have honed their scheduling and reservation capabilities to be able to take kids that might only need an occasional day. Call the Parish Office and inquire about openings even if you just need a couple of days during the summer or want your kids attending the entire program.

Each week "Fun in the Sun" features a theme meant to educate the kids with fun and activities on a particular topic. Themes for this year range from educational to just plain kid's fun.  Themes include outer space; plants, animals and insects; safari; Olympics; pirates; and fun holidays.  Some feild trips are planned which extend the thematic expeiance.  Yes, the activities are fun for the kids, however more important, the kids experiance community by working, learning and playing together.
