CONCORDIA ACADEMY
SUMMER 2021
ConcordiaAcademy.com/camps
Welcome! Every year, hundreds of students in elementary, middle, and high schools from throughout the Twin Cities attend Concordia Academy Camps, learning to use their talents to shine while they strengthen skills, build relationships, gain knowledge, and make new friends. Students dance, run, shoot, score, sing, create, investigate, cook, code, repair, act, pitch, bat, lift, construct, grow, explore, worship...and have the times of their lives. At CA, we are committed to Honoring God Through Excellence, and that commitment is at the center of all of our camps. All of our camps are held on the Concordia Academy campus, located at 2400 North Dale Street in Roseville, just north of Highway 36 and Dale. To register for 2021 Concordia Academy Summer Camps, go to ConcordiaAcademy.com/camps. Summers at Concordia Academy are awesome, and we can’t wait to have you join us. Concordia Academy, home of The Beacons, is a Christ-centered, loving, inspiring community that encourages students in grades 9-12 to shine as they maximize their unique, God- given potential. Specialized curriculum options include STEM, Emerging Artist, and Humanities Cohorts; an Innovation Lab; and College On Campus, offering over 90 college credits taught by professors who travel to our campus each day. A wide range of athletics and arts options and daily opportunities for spiritual growth are also key to our program. Learn more at ConcordiaAcademy.com.

Policies
Registration for CA Camps is done at ConcordiaAcademy.com/camps on a first-come,
first-served basis, starting February 15. Many camps have size limits, so early registration is
encouraged. Once a camp is full, you have an option to be placed on a waiting list.
At least two weeks prior to each camp, updated COVID-19 safety details will be shared,
based on the most recent guidelines from the state. At the time of publication of this camp
catalog, it’s impossible to know what those specific guidelines will be, but it is likely they
will include wearing masks when indoors.
Camp fees are paid in full (by credit card or electronic check) at the time of registration.
Full refunds of camp fees will be given for registrations canceled at least one month prior to a
camp’s start date. A $25 fee will be assessed for cancellations after that time.
Concordia Academy reserves the right to cancel camps for any reason, including low
enrollment. We will try to give at least two weeks notice. Fees will, of course, be refunded in full.
If you have questions about specific camps, please email the listed instructor. For general
questions, email camps@concordiaacademy.com or call 651-484-8429.
