Summer Camp 2025

St. Richard's offers Dragon Day Camp for rising Grade 1 through 8 students and Mini Dragon Day Camps for rising JK (age 5) through Kindergarten students. Specialty camps are also available for all ages. Specialty camps do not go swimming or attend field trips, unless noted. Camps are offered on a weekly basis from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. with early and aftercare options available. Camps are closed on June 19 and the week of July 4. Maintaining the health and safety of our campers and counselors is more than a goal--it is a core value of our camps. Working together with our parents/guardians, we will take every precaution necessary to have a fun, healthy, and safe summer.

Pricing information is available in the 2025 camp catalogue. Payment for summer camp enrollment is due in full by May 24, 2025. Dragon Camp pricing includes two swim lessons per week, a field trip, and snacks twice a day (see catalogue page 4). Specialty camp prices are listed in the brochure with the camp description. Payments may be made through credit cards or e-checks. Before-care, from 7:45 to 8:50 a.m., and aftercare, from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. are available for an extra fee.

If your preferred specialty camp is full, you may register for the waitlist, at no charge. If a spot becomes available in the desired camp, the camper’s parent/guardian at the top of the waiting list will be notified via email or by phone call. The parent/guardian will have 72 hours from the time of the notification email or phone call to make payment in full for the desired camp. If the payment has not been received in full, the parent/guardian of the next camper on the waitlist will be notified.

Campers should pack a lunch and a refillable water bottle for camp each day. St. Richard's encourages packing a healthy lunch to ensure energy for the duration of the day. Candy and soda are not allowed. Please note the school and several of the field trip locations are peanut-free; therefore, St. Richard's summer camps are peanut-free. Campers should label all items with their name and will need closed-toe shoes. For any pool days, campers need pool shoes, a towel, swimsuit, goggles, and sunscreen. Students may also choose to pack an extra pair of clothing.

St. Richard's strongly discourages students from bringing electronic devices to camp; this is prohibited for rising JK - Grade 4 students. Rising Grade 5 - 8 students are only permitted to use their devices for purposes of communicating with parents/guardians for transportation. St. Richard's is not liable for lost or damaged devices.

The central location of St. Richard's campus allows the school and camp to have unique partnerships and deliver outstanding programming year-round. Campers participate in field experiences throughout the city and in nearby parks such as the Indianapolis Zoo, Holliday Park, the Children's Museum, and more. See the camp descriptions for designated field trips each week. The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, only one block south of St. Richard's, is a convenient and popular resource for all grades. We also partner with The Riviera Club, home to SRES campers' swimming lessons. Their team of aquatic instructors work with the campers to help develop strong, confident swimmers. Additionally, there is time to explore the outdoor water playground with five pools and 1.2 million gallons of water.
