Good Afternoon,
The City of Anniston is excited to host its annual Summer Day Camp Program. The Summer Camps will run from May 28, 2024, through August 2, 2024, from 7:00 AM until 5:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Our camps will take place at the Carver Community Center, Norwood Hodges Community Center, & Wiggins Community Center!
We have BIG NEWS for this year’s camps! Thanks to wonderful partnerships throughout East Alabama, we are excited to introduce our community’s own Summer Adventures in Learning (SAIL) program, as a dynamic, educational component of the City of Anniston's Summer Day Camps for 2024!
Designed for students entering 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in August 2024, this SAIL program welcomes participants from the City of Anniston’s Summer Camp Programs at Wiggins, Carver, and Hodges Community Centers, along with students residing in Calhoun County. This program primarily focuses on students not meeting grade level standards.
SAIL - WHAT TO KNOW:
1) SAIL is an educational component of our Summer Camps. The SAIL program also requires enrichment sessions, which our camps provide through outdoor and engaging activities.
2) To participate in SAIL, you MUST ALSO participate in the Summer Day Camps. However, you can participate in our Summer Day Camps without participating in the SAIL program.
3) After registering for SAIL, a pre-test will be administered to your student, prior to their final acceptance in the program.
4) Attendance is MANDATORY for the SAIL program.
5) There is no additional cost for the SAIL program. Those registering will only pay the Summer Day Camp fees.
6) The classroom components of the SAIL program will be hosted at The Donoho School. SAIL students will be required to participate in both the Summer Day Camp Program and the SAIL program, and they’ll be offered transportation from their respective Summer Camp locations to The Donoho School for 3.5 hours of daily instruction featuring innovative reading and math sessions rooted in the BellXcel curriculum, led by certified local educators.
7) On Fridays, SAIL students will be transported to Camp Lee for unique outdoor enrichment adventures, and return them to their centers afterwards!
8) In this first year of our SAIL program, please note the program will be limited to the first 50 (fifty) registrants.
