Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

Psalm 146:1-2

We are overjoyed to be able to gather for Summer@TCS this summer, and we praise the Lord for making this possible. Praise based on Psalm 146:1-2 will be the focus of our camps this summer. We will praise the Lord in all that we do, from Driver’s Ed to Basketball Camp to our action-packed Day Camp. 

Summer@ TCS has something for everyone in rising grades K-12! For Lower School students, we have a fun-filled and active Day Camp. We also offer themed camps for sports like basketball as well as strings and band camps.

For Upper School students, Summer@TCS offers a wide variety of interest-based camps. There are many sports camps this year – field hockey, basketball, and volleyball just to name a few! Do you need help with your summer reading? Summer@TCS has you covered! Join our amazing English teachers for the Summer Reading Book Club specific for your grade. Summer@TCS Camps can help you explore new interests like Tabletop Gaming or Marine Biology and work on certifications like Basic First Aid or babysitting. For those of you that are ready to start driving, we are offering four sessions of Driver’s Ed. 

Summer@TCS has many more camps available. Check out all of the offerings on the Summer@TCS website under Summer Camp Catalog.

Camp Basics

When does summer camp begin?

Camps will start the week of June 1, 2021 and will continue through August 6, 2021.

While we are hopeful that our 2021 Summer@TCS Camps will continue uninterrupted, the safety and health of our community is of utmost concern. We will be following the guidelines of the state and are prayerful in our decisions. Parents will be notified of any changes made by the health department.

Health Screenings

All students will complete a daily COVID-19 screening and have their temperatures checked upon arrival on campus. 

Parents are urged to take students’ temperatures at home before coming to camp. Parents are asked to keep children home if temperature is elevated over 100.4o F or 38o C.

All staff and students will be required to wear masks.

Who can attend Trinity's summer camps?

Non-Trinity students are welcome to attend most of our camps, other than our credited courses or if noted in the camp description. We ask that all students who participate in summer camps are Christians and are willing to abide by our Code of Conduct as outlined on the Code of Conduct tab.

Who should I contact with questions?

Contact summer@tcsfairfax.org to request more information on attending summer camps.

Please note: There will NOT be a nurse on campus during camp; however, counselors do have access to basic first aid. To reach the school during the day, please call Trinity Christian School at 703-273-8787 x110.

A $25 fee will be charged for every 15 minutes, or any portion thereof, that students remain on campus after dismissal.

Online Courses

ONLINE GEOMETRY (1 CREDIT)
Prerequisites: Students enrolling in this course must have successfully completed Algebra I with a grade of 74 or better. Placement for new TCS students is determined by the math department.
Dates: June 1 through July 23
Materials: Optional textbook – Larson Geometry: Student Edition
Cost: $995 

Students wanting to take Honors Geometry should NOT enroll in this class. 

Students will develop reasoning and problem-solving skills as they study the basic Euclidean geometry topics. They will learn and apply properties of points, lines, and planes along with the planar figures such as polygons and circles. Students will also use the concepts of length, perimeter, area, circumference, surface area, and volume to solve real world problems. In addition to the geometry content of the course, there will be numerous discussions of algebra, data analysis, and probability. The entire course will be framed around the discussion that God has designed his universe with certain principles, and that we can understand our Creator in a deeper way by learning and applying those principles that he has built into the framework of his creation. 


ONLINE HEALTH (0.5 CREDIT)
Prerequisites: Students must have successfully completed Team Sports and Wellness.
Dates: June 1 through July 23
Materials: There are no additional materials for this course.
Cost: $495 

Health education seeks to teach students about whole body wellness, its impact on individuals, and life application. Students will utilize an online platform to explore and discuss four different areas of health: spiritual, physical, emotional, and relational. This course will challenge students to think critically about health as they begin to make decisions that will impact their future. The primary mission of this course is not to merely provide factual information, but rather to help the student develop the tools necessary to live a healthy life in God’s world, honoring and glorifying him. 


ONLINE TRIGONOMETRY (0.5 CREDIT)
Prerequisites: Students must have completed Algebra 2 with a grade of 80 or higher.
Dates: June 1 through July 23

Cost: $495 

The successful completion of this course may allow a student who has completed regular Algebra 2 to enter Honors Precalculus. 

Trigonometry is a course that explores the properties of triangles and circular functions. Students will explore trigonometric definitions, applications, graphing, and solving of 

trigonometric equations and inequalities. Applications and modeling will be included throughout the course of study. Trigonometry is a vital area of study for students who plan to take AP Calculus in high school. Students enrolled in Trigonometry are assumed to have mastered the concepts covered in Algebra 2. 


ONLINE ALGEBRA 1 REFRESHER (NON-CREDITED)
Dates: Rolling admission after June 1
Materials: 
There are no additional materials for this course.
Cost: $225 

This is an independently-paced video series designed as a refresher of the key concepts covered in Algebra 1. The course covers the basics of properties of real numbers, equations, and inequalities, along with systems of equations in two variables, polynomials, operations on rational expressions, simple functions, irrational numbers, and quadratic equations. This course is not the equivalent of Trinity’s more extensive Algebra 1 course. Instead, it covers the most fundamental Algebra 1 topics. This course is designed for students who need a refresher or extra practice of Algebra 1. 


ADDITIONAL TUTORING OPTION
10 hours of on-campus 1:1 tutoring
This tutoring is highly recommended for students who struggle with executive functioning skills.
Cost: $600
