Summer Camps on The Rise



​All Summer Camps have been CANCELLED

for 2020 due to Covid-19.

We will happily refund your deposits.


We are leaving the descriptions up so we can all see what we are missing!
​

Summer Camps on The Rise
All camps are organized into Morning Camps (9am-Noon) with a couple of exceptions* and Afternoon Camps (12:30-3:30). Snack and lunch breaks are included. Snack is scheduled during the morning camp at 10:30. Lunch break is scheduled between the two camps from noon-12:30. All campers must bring their own snack and lunch from home, and a water bottle. Afternoon campers who need to stay even longer in the late afternoon can join Aftercare from 3-6pm.  

To Register for any camp and for Aftercare, please submit the form at the bottom of this page. A deposit of $100/child/camp is required to secure your registration.

Payment Options: Pay us through PayPal (look for hello@schoolontherise.com on the PayPal site) or snail mail us a check. You can pay in full or pay the balance on the first day when you bring your child. There will be some paperwork to sign then, too. Checks can be mailed to Summer Camps on The Rise 8805 Tara Lane, Austin, Texas. 78737. (This is not the school's location, BTW.)

Craft Like Crazy!-
 We will spend the week making lots of different projects with lots of different craft materials.

​Cake Decorating-
 From mini cupcakes to large fancy wedding cakes, the basic skills are the same. Begin to learn the skills of a professional cake decorator.  Use piping bags, tips, and different kinds of icing to decorate cakes both large and small. Take home your very own set of tips and bags, eat cake everyday, what else would you want?
Ages 10 and up. $180 for the week.
Dietary Disclaimer: This camp is not about healthy ingredients. It is about learning to control and shape the icing. We will use sugar, butter, cream cheese, eggs, and boxed cake mixes, so...be forewarned.  



Aftercare   3:30-6pm                        $100/wk 
Extended child care is available for campers who have been enrolled in the afternoon camp that week.

Children are welcome to bring games from home to play with others or favorite books to read. Please make sure your child has an extra snack packed. Note: There is no Aftercare for July camps.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!

School on the Rise values and supports diversity in its many dimensions, including but not limited to each person’s unique combination of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical ability, learning style, religious beliefs, political views, perspectives, and life experiences. 

By embracing diversity, we expand our understanding of others. By reflecting on our inherent personal biases, we stimulate our own learning and growth. By doing both, we connect with one another and the world. We believe this is healthy and key to moving beyond simple tolerance, building a safe, positive, and nurturing environment that affirms each individual’s sense of belonging, dignity, and significance
