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
will change their summer

  • 01

    Creative workshops

    Drawing, sculpting, crafts, decor — every week brings new techniques led by professional instructors.

  • 02

    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.

  • 06

    Ukrainian culture

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