Welcome to Summer Day Camp At Dall'Inizio DaySchool
Summer DayCamp 2023
This year Dall'Inizio DaySchool will be offering summer camp experiences for preschool and school-age children. Our camp is a science-based camp that will introduce children to different concentrations in science and expose the fact that we are surrounded by science everywhere in our daily lives. There will be loads of hands on experience to help foster a love of science in our campers! Check out our flyers and week descriptions available for download below. Camp will begin on June 12th with the last day of camp being on August 11th.
Summer Exploration Awaits!
We have 9 weeks of adventures lined up for our campers! We will learn about Physics, Geology, Earth Science, Archaeology, Animals, Agriculture and so much more! We will be out and about every day exploring the gifts of nature by visiting our local parks and nearby State Parks! Our school age campers will have field trips like the Pittsburgh Zoo and Carnegie Science Center, Knoebels Grove, Millbrook Marsh and many more!
