The Challenge Program at Saint Vincent continues as the theme-based, fun-filled experience it has been these last 10 years! We will continue the “immersion experiences” for our program. These opportunities allow you to get involved in a subject or pursuit that you enjoy or would like to explore! The day and overnight program are designed to provide you with a memorable, fun-filled experience that becomes something you can look forward to, year after year. We strive for hands on, creative, and exploratory immersions, as well as entertaining opportunities. Come and make memories as well as good friends that last, with us at the Challenge Program immersions!
Children entering 1st-5th grade attending the day program will enjoy a balance of hands-on and active learning experiences, arts and outdoor fun, as well as a “daily immersion” time. During this time, children will enjoy an event lead by a guest presenter or one designed by the Challenge team. Look for a whole new level of fun! Preschool and Kindergarten will remain a half day program ("Super Tots") with age appropriate and fun filled opportunities.
