St. Anthony-New Brighton Community Services

Our preschool summer camps take place at the St. Anthony Community Center In Room #CS 17. There is access to a gym, playground, and open natural space. We have activities planned for all types of weather, inside and outside. Your child will be entertained in a great environment with quality staff and program materials. Children do NOT need to be potty trained to attend. The camps are designed with your busy child in mind. Daily activities will include, but are not limited to games, songs, crafts, stories, and movement activities that revolve around the weekly theme. This is a wonderful way for your child(ren) to build new friendships, confidence, socialization skills, creativity, and do all of this while also enjoying the great outdoors.
