For-Credit Summer Courses
Summer at the Hall will offer several different courses for high-school credit at Saint Mary’s Hall. Among those offered during the summer of 2010 are Drawing for Portfolio Preparation, Geometry, and Pre-calculus.
Preparatory Courses
Summer is a great time for students to take prep and refresher courses so look for math, writing and intro classes for more information. Verbal and math prep courses for the SAT will be offered in addition to the standard academic and for-credit courses. Introduction classes are offered for incoming SMH Montessori students specifically tailored to ease transition into the Montessori classroom. Kindergarten and Form 1 students make big changes when stepping up, so our SMH teachers have designed courses for those transitions as well.
Day Camps
Day Camps are offered for children ages 3 to 5 in weekly, themed camps to provide a variety of fun experiences for our youngest campers. These camps are well-supervised, educational and fun.
Half-Day Enrichment Camps
Half-day enrichment camps are designed for students from grades 1 - 6 and run from 9-11:30 a.m. or 12:30-3 p.m. A variety of academic/enrichment and fun camps are offered all summer long. Students may select a golf camp in the morning and an art camp in the afternoon. With this type of a variety campers get a well-rounded fun packed summer experience.
Early Childhood Programs
Especially designed for the younger students at Summer at the Hall (ages four - six years), this session provides academic teaching and reinforcement in the areas of language arts, math, science, the arts (music and crafts) and foreign language, in a fun, activity-based camp based on thematic units.
Supervised Lunch
Supervised Lunch is provided for full-day campers who bring a sack lunch or purchase lunch for the week ($35). Lunches may consist of chicken nuggets, grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, hot dogs, hamburgers, etc.
The Extended Care Program
Provides care for children enrolled in Summer at the Hall before and after our summer programs (7:15-9 a.m.) and (3-6 p.m.) Students will enjoy relaxed recreational activities including games, a snack and outdoor play. Campers arriving on campus more than 15 minutes prior to camp start or more than 15 minutes after scheduled camp time will be escorted and enrolled in our Extended Care Program.
Sports Camps
Our sports camp offerings include basketball, golf, tennis and soccer. In addition, Saint Mary's Hall summer sports programs have a longstanding tradition of excellence. The Alamo Lacrosse Camp is one such camp. Under the coaching of Mark Richards and in its 15th year of operation, it is the oldest lacrosse camp in San Antonio. In addition, SMH has been host to the San Antonio Spurs and Silver Stars Basketball Camps for the past five years.
Security
Saint Mary’s Hall ‘s gated campus is maintained 24 hours per day, and is a point of pride for the SMH community.
