Padua Center is going to be On the Move this summer as they host five weeks of free Summer Camps for elementary school age children. Because of the pending razing of St. Anthony Church and its proximity to Padua Center, the summer camps will be move to the St. Martin de Porres Campus at 1119 West Bancroft Street at the corner of Detroit and Bancroft Streets. This move will assure the safety of everyone participating in camp this year.

Same fun! Same Tutoring! Same lunches provided by Connecting Kids to Meals! Just a new location.

This summer the free camps will begin with Vacation Bible School from June 18-22. Students will learn that being on the move means following the leader. The leaders for our Vacation Bible School are Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Jesus and Paul. Campers will follow them for a fun week of learning about the many people God puts into our lives to lead us.

Keep it Movin will be the Sports Camps this summer and will feature lots of movement and sports. This camp will partner with Robinson School for their summer camp and run from June 25 to June 29.

Staying Healthy involves moving about and eating well. During the week of July 9-13, the campers will be Moving to Stay Healthy and will learn about healthy food, gardening and exercise.

Shades and Rhythm is the theme of the Art and Music Camp which runs from July 16-20. The children will participate in various art projects, visit the Art Museum, learn about glass blowing, and have entertainment provided by local musicians. Budding artists will enjoy the fun of free expression.

Padua Center will team up with the Metroparks for a Connection Camp from July 23-27. Learning about archery, canoeing, doing crafts and having fun outdoors is the goal of this camp.
