(AM/PM CARE)

Williamsburg Christian Academy’s Camp Eagle Program offers an extended care program for all campers to meet the needs of working parents. Because of space limitations, this program is only available to campers that are active in the Camp Eagle Program and only for the weeks that the camper is participating in the program. Our goal is to provide a safe and caring home-like environment for children where Christian principles are practiced. Hours of Operation Before Care -7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. After Care - 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. We have designed a semi-structured program to give children safe boundaries while allowing more freedom than the normal classroom setting. During PM care there is a generous amount of playtime. We also provide a nutritious afternoon snack each day. Our AM/PM care director and staff are CPR and first aid certified. Enrollment coincides with the Camp Eagle enrollment period. Space is limited. The AM/PM director will determine when the program is full and notify parents.
