campF.R.E.S.H.

Welcome to ...

Join us for a summer of NEW adventures as we explore cuisine and culture around the globe. campF.R.E.S.H.® at Fontbonne University takes kids entering 4th through 7th grade on an interactive, hands-on journey toward better health through activities emphasizing nutrition, wellness, physical exercise, and creativity. This year, we will experience celebrations and festivals from around the world. Grab your passports! Each week-long day camp features a different continent, from Antarctica to South America, with stops along the way to learn about the unique lifestyles of kids around the globe.

Led by Fontbonne’s Human Environmental Science (HES) faculty, kids will roll up their sleeves and whip up healthy cuisine with international flavor in our state-of-the-art kitchens. They’ll learn about teamwork and the benefits of physical activity through participation in each continent’s popular sports, games and dances. They’ll discover how music, art and nature can enhance their own physical and emotional well-being, just as it does for kids all over the world. Weekly fieldtrips are designed to relate to the “Continent of the Week” and may include ice skating and a visit to Purina Farms, among others. camp F.R.E.S.H.® is an opportunity for kids entering 4th through 7th grade to travel the world without leaving St. Louis.
