Stillwater Central School District is thrilled to offer a Summer Elementary Enrichment Camp for all incoming students in first through fifth grade. This means if your child will be in first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade or fifth grade in the fall of 2024, they are eligible to sign-up for this exciting opportunity.

Due to construction in Stillwater Elementary, the camp will be located at Stillwater Middle School between July 8-25, 2024. The camp will be from 9:30-11:45 a.m., Monday through Thursday. More information will come about drop off and pick up location. Drop-off starts at 9:15 a.m. and pick up begins at 11:45 a.m. Transportation is not provided, so you will need to arrange transportation for your child.

Your child will sign up for two sessions per week. These will be the activities they do all week. The leaders have planned different daily activities, so be sure to come every day! If your child wishes to do theater, be sure to sign-up for BOTH theater sessions that week. Ms. O’Neill needs those kids for two hours a day.

Please be sure your child can attend the week(s) that you are signing up for. We will have a wait list this year, so if your plans change, please let us know right away! Before you submit, make sure you pick a week(s) you can commit to and you choose the correct activity.

Registration for camps will be open at 6 a.m. on Tuesday, May 7, using the FamilyID digital platform. If you already have a FamilyID account, you can use it for registration. If you do NOT have an account, it is suggested that you sign up and get your account set up before the registration date. Last year, our classes were full after the first day and a half of registration. We anticipate that camps will fill up very quickly again this year. Click here to sign up and create an account on Family ID. Once registration opens, you will be able to sign your child(ren) up for camp.
