ECC Summer Session

Dear friends, 

 

We are writing to share some exciting news about a new summer program we will be offering to the congregation and community. For decades, we have been hearing from families who want to be part of our Early Childhood program and can’t, because they needed full-time care for their child. This year, we introduced a full-day option and have a class of students who stay until 5:30, and we expect more new families next year who plan to take advantage of the full day as well. However, a nearly four-month summer break still creates a barrier to many families who wish to be part of our school. 

 

With that in mind, we are thrilled to announce the launch of an ECC Summer Session:

A program that blends the best of what our ECC has to offer (including our teaching staff!)

with the best traditions of our award-winning camp!

 

We know this is a big change, so our staff and lay leadership have been working closely together to plan and develop this program. We are so thankful for all the feedback and ideas we have received from our ECC Parents Association and families, our Camp Committee, and the temple staff and board. Working together, and in anticipation of the questions that will inevitably arise as we navigate this new experience together, please find an extensive FAQ below – it can also be found on our Camp and ECC webpages.

 

We will look forward to continuing the conversation with you as we roll this out and launch our first Summer Session in June 2025! Please do not hesitate to contact Rene or the ECC office if you have any questions. 

 

Sincerely, 

Jessica Ingram, Executive Director
