    June 12, 2020 

    Due to the increasing cases of COVID-19 in Arizona, we are going to cancel Gifted Rocks! summer camp this year. This was not an easy decision for our teachers and staff as we know our gifted kiddos really want to get out and experience some in-person learning. We just need to make sure both our students and staff are safe at this time.
     
    We will begin processing full refunds for everyone who was registered on Monday June 15th.
     
    We applicate your understanding and flexibility.

     

     

     

     

    We hope to be able to offer our gifted summer program again this year for gifted identified students entering 1st - 9th grades.

    With teachers coming back for the 2020-21 school year the end of July, and the possibility of having social distancing

    continue into the summer, we are focusing our efforts on just one week this year. That said we will still offer

    two options that week. If we do need to cancel camp, parents will be notified and receive a full refund.

    Safety Protocols for 2020

    Please bring the following:

    First Day of camp

     

    Students each day

    • Bag lunch
    • A morning and afternoon snack
    • Enough water for the day (drinking fountains are turned off)
    • Masks are optional

     

    What the process looks like

    • We ask that only one parent/guardian bring their child to sign in in the morning. (After the first day, older children can do this for themselves.)
    • Park in the parking lot off of Rose Garden Lane and follow the signs.
    • Everyone will meet/check in, in Goldwater's large cafeteria. This will allow room for everyone to socially distance.
    • All surfaces and materials will be cleaned multiple times a day
