Why parents choose July
What you won't find at an ordinary camp
The July Program isn't "child supervision" — it's an intentional investment of time. Here's what you get.
-
Not just a summer — real growth
Every day is new skills, new emotions and new wins. In one month, the child transforms: more confident, more open, with new friends and vivid memories.
-
Preserving Ukrainian identity
A bilingual environment and cultural activities help your child stay connected to their roots, even living in the U.S. We don't teach the language — we live it.
-
A unique cathedral campus
The private grounds of Saint Andrew Cathedral with their own park — that's safety, calm and nature. A place with soul, not just a regular school classroom.
What your child gets
Six things that
Six things that
will change their summer
-
01
Creative workshops
Drawing, sculpting, crafts, decor — every week brings new techniques led by professional instructors.
-

Science experiments
Physics, chemistry, biology through play: color reactions, crystals, microscopes. Curiosity is a skill.
-
03
Caring for animals
Mini-farm — kids feed, pet and care for animals. A natural lesson in empathy and responsibility.
-
04
Active sports
Team and individual games, dance, relay races — kids move daily, and everyone finds their favorite.
-
05
Themed shows
Every week ends with a big finale show: theater, concert, fair. Kids create and perform.
-

Ukrainian culture
Folk games, traditions, songs, cooking, history. We love what's ours — and we share it with the kids.
