  1. Camp is from 8-12, with lunch provided by the Culinary Camp!

  2. Campers should be dropped off at the North entrance - look for the sign.

  3. Your kid may bring a reading buddy (stuffed animal) and flashlight for the authentic camping experience.

  4. Thursday is “Dress Like Your Favorite Book Character Day”, an optional chance to make reading even more fun.


Culinary Camp

On August 6-8, our Culinary Camp will be happening! Students will be making breads, cooking chicken three different ways, and baking dessert! Sign up at the link above.

The cost for the camp is $25.

Parents of campers are invited to join us for lunch on the final day at 12pm.


If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Wright (ben.wright@legacymail.org).


Work Night -- Tuesday, August 6, 6pm

As the new school year approaches, there are a number of tasks to do all around campus to help get it ready. We can't do it all without your help!


We have two dates this week: Tuesday evening and Saturday.


We will be working on campus to help prepare classrooms, move furniture, perform repairs, and other little tasks. Since Legacy Academy does not have any maintenance staff, we need your help and assistance. Parents, this is a great opportunity to get the required volunteer hours that you committed to, and high school students can also get service hours!


If you can help on other days/evenings, let the office know.


If you have questions, contact Dr. Lofton (jason.lofton@legacymail.org).


Curriculum Fees -- Now Due

Parents, as we are getting ready to start the new school year, we want to remind you that the curriculum fee is due by August 15.


K-12 -- $200

You can pay it online (K-12 or Pre-K) or come by the office.
