SUMMER CAMP UPDATE
We want to support academic and athletic fitness this summer without compromising the health and safety of our community. That is why Vianney has restructured its summer camps this year. We will follow the most updated guidelines regarding health screening, proper cleaning protocol, and social distancing toward ensuring the safety of each participant.

Sessions are tentatively scheduled on campus June 29-August 6, once we are satisfied they meet the guidelines set forth by our governing bodies. The schedule is subject to change if those guidelines change. Families will receive a full refund if a camp is cancelled.
