☀️ The last day of SummerPrep’s first session is here—time really flies when you’re having fun! 🎉 We had an amazing week and can’t wait to welcome our campers back next week for more adventures! 😄

🚀 Campers launched their rockets today in our 3-2-1 Blast Off! class — such a fun adventure! 🌟 Know a kiddo who’d love building rockets? There’s still time to sign up for SummerPrep Session Two! ☀️✨

✨ National Honor Society students celebrated a heartwarming wish reveal for Mimi with the incredible Make-A-Wish team this past spring! 💙 Thanks to their dedicated fundraising efforts, NHS raised $6,000 to send Mimi and her family on an all-expenses-paid trip to Disney World! 🏰🌟

There’s so much to love about SummerPrep, but one of the best parts is our incredible team of counselors. Mostly made up of returning Sandia Prep students, they bring fun 🎉, adventure 🏕️, and kindness 💛 that campers will remember all year long!

Lauren Larson ’04 returned to Prep this semester with her two young daughters 👩‍👧‍👧. During their visit, they toured the campus and made a special stop at Ernie Polansky’s classroom 🧪, where the girls explored his lab and Lauren had a chance to reconnect with her former teacher 👨‍🏫. Now living in Happy Valley, Ore., with her husband Dan and their daughters 🏡, Lauren works as a small animal veterinarian at Happy Valley Fern Hill Vet Care 🐾. Reflecting on her visit, Lauren shared: “While so much has changed on campus, it’s inspiring to see what the students are up to and how things have evolved. Now, being in the shoes of a parent, it makes me so grateful for my parents—and for my time at Prep. It was, and clearly still is, a wonderful community.” 💙

It’s been an amazing week here at SummerPrep—full of creativity, laughter, and new friendships! Wishing all our campers a fun and restful weekend. We can’t wait to welcome you back on Monday! 😄 ✌️
