🎨 RIO Christian Academy Summer Camp
- Creative, fun program
- Early drop-off (7:30am) perfect for working parents
- School campus setting
- Small group activities
As a homeschooling mom who's spent way too much time figuring out summer logistics, I'm always excited to find camps that make life easier while keeping kids engaged! RIO Christian Academy's summer camp is a fantastic option for younger kids (K-3rd grade) who need a fun, creative environment.
Why this camp works:
The program runs in two sessions: June 2-27 and July 7-25, which gives you flexibility if you need summer care. The 7:30am-5:30pm hours are a lifesaver for working parents - that early drop-off means you can actually make your workday without the morning scramble.
What kids get: - Creative activities and learning experiences - A school campus environment that feels structured but fun - Age-appropriate programming for younger learners - A Christian academy setting (if that's important to your family)
From a mom's perspective: I love that this is specifically designed for K-3rd graders - sometimes younger kids need that focused age group rather than being mixed with older campers. The campus setting means they're in a familiar educational environment, which can be comforting for kids who might be nervous about camp.
Pro tip: Enrollment is already open, so if you're looking for summer care for your little ones, now's the time to register. The early hours alone make this worth considering - having that 7:30am start can transform your morning routine!
Location: Right here in Maryville on S Long Hollow Rd, making it easy to drop off on your way to work or combine with other errands.
