MDS Summer Enrichment Fun!

Summer Programs

Mission Discovery School Camps provide a safe, fun, and educational environment during summer break. Students spend the day on-site in Monticello, UT or on field trips participating in activity times as well as outdoor time, creation time, and personal choice time. Classes are not only a place for learning and fun, but a place where students build lasting friendships. If you have any questions, please contact us.

To help parents with more random schedules through the summer the billing is different for ages 3 and up. It doesn't have to be paid 2 weeks in advance, but rather if you pay and schedule a week ahead, you can get the contract rate. Also to help with our summer camp scheduling, half days are now calculated by morning or afternoon or full day instead of 4.5 hours or less. If your schedule will be random, and overlapping the morning and afternoon, it might be a lower cost for you to pay the hourly drop in rate which is $5 an hour for 3 yr olds and $4 an hour for ages 4+.

Morning includes breakfast and lunch. Afternoon includes snacks.

Payment reserves your child's spot in the camp.
