summer heroes camp



"This whole camp was so much fun . . . I loved it there!"

Join us for an energetic program centered on building better learners, readers, kids and heroes. Program includes field trips in conjunction with literacy, STEAM and various Social-Emotional quality learning curriculums.

2024 Camp Dates: Mornings June 17-July 26. No program week of July 3.

Join us at Campus Locations in Dubuque and Western Dubuque (Dyersville)!

Open to students entering Kindergarten-5th grade. Expect your child to work heavily on their reading and math skills, while learning how to be a great kid. Field trips will round out their enrichment, exploring the community and the surrounding areas, meeting new heroes and growing to be their own.
