We are excited to invite students and adults to campus this summer, hosting a wide array of classes and camps ranging from athletics and academics to arts and adventures!

The camps are led by members of the faculty and staff of Saint Agnes School. Let’s enjoy the summer together!

Can women and men be friends? Are there real, cultural differences between men and women? These questions have been debated through time and cultures, leading to many awkward situations and hilarious encounters, told most wonderfully in literature. The relationship between men and women has been one of long importance, but also long confusion. Topics such as any important philosophical differences between women and men and whether these differences are natural or socially constructed. The implications of the answers to those questions will be discussed in class. Special attention will be given to the Catholic tradition's reflections on the nature and ends of marriage and friendship between women and men, with the ultimate question in mind of “what does it really mean to be a man or a woman?” and “can women and men be friends?”
**Minimal reading is required for this class. Each session will be mostly discussion based.

The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children, beginning at the age of three. It seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, “hands-on” space for children called an atrium, in which both the children and their catechists can hear, ponder, and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Catholic faith as revealed in the Scriptures and the Liturgy. Originally developed in Rome by Sofia Cavalletti and Gianna Gobbi fifty years ago, Catechesis continues to spread world-wide. This course will ground the participant in the theory and praxis of CGS while also concretely preparing him/her to develop and facilitate an atrium.
Please join us for an evening of fellowship, crafts and desserts with your daughter(s). We will be creating candle holders using pressed flowers. We will have a variety of glasses in various sizes for you to choose from, but you are also welcome to bring your own to decorate.
