Oak Hall School is pleased to announce a series of camps for kids entering the Fifth grade through entering Ninth grade. Often kids this age feel that they are just a little too old for a normal day camp program, yet Mom and Dad aren’t quite ready for that big step of staying home alone. We have a perfect solution! Join us for one of these exciting camps led by our experienced staff. In all camps, members of our staff will have lifeguard, CPR, and first aid certifications as we always place your child’s safety first. Transportation to all trips will be on one of Oak Hall’s school buses. So check out this fun, exciting, and safe series of camps!
