St. Gerard Church has made the difficult but necessary decision to cancel our Summer Base Camp program due to Covid-19. This deeply saddens us.
We are currently in the process of devising an alternate program format for the 2020-2021 school year that will be flexible and accessible to all families and will allow students to advance to their next grade level.
It is our goal to release details of our new Base Camp format along with registration information by mid-summer.
