Weekly Activities

We run a general summer camp to appeal to every kid who attends. We make sure to include different activities so that all children are having fun while at JPRA. We do sports, running games, arts & crafts, outdoor time, swimming in the JP pool, and we take frequent trips to St. Luke's Park where the kids can play at the park and swim in the wading pool. We also do weekly field trips at no extra cost, usually on the Wednesday of each week.
