- Christian-based program
- Creative activities
- Early drop-off (7:30am)
- Full-day care (through 5:30pm)
- School campus location
Looking for a Christian-based summer program for your little one? RIO Christian Academy's summer camp is designed specifically for children entering kindergarten through 3rd grade - perfect for those who need reliable care while also getting some fun, educational activities.
The camp runs in two sessions: June 2-27 and July 7-25, Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 5:30pm. That early start time is a lifesaver for working families - you can drop off at 7:30 and pick up at 5:30 without stress. And the fact that it's on the school campus means your kid gets that familiar school feeling without the summer slump.
The program emphasizes creative activities and a faith-based approach, which has been a great fit for families looking for values-aligned programming. Since RIO is a full K-12 academy, the environment is structured and nurturing - think smaller class sizes and teachers who actually know what they're doing.
Why I'm listing this: - Great for young kids: Specifically designed for K-3rd graders, so the activities are age-appropriate - Convenient hours: 7:30-5:30 covers the full workday - Christian foundation: Faith-based program for families who want that in their summer programming - Campus setting: Your child gets the school experience without summer learning loss
Pro tip from a mom: Contact them directly to ask about current availability and pricing - camps like this often fill up quickly since they're smaller and more personalized than big corporate programs.
