SKDC - Preparing Students for Fun!
Where Kids Come for Fun!
Summer Knights Day Camp gives kids ages 3-12 a chance to form a community in a faith-based and play filled environment at Central Catholic Jr.Sr. High School.
SKDC is open to the public. Have a vacation scheduled? No worries! Our flexible week-to-week scheduling allows you to choose which weeks you attend camp!
2023 Summer Knights Day Camp will run Monday, June 5 through Friday, August 4.
Staff
Campers love our counselors! Many of them are Central Catholic students who are working a summer job under the supervision of Mrs. Marybeth Fabian, principal of St. Boniface Elementary School. Teachers from our preschool, elementary schools, and high school also help facilitate our program. All of our staffers undergo background checks.
For the summer of 2023 we will also host weekly themes with guest instructors. We'll explore zoo animals with the Columbian Park Zoo staff, space with our friends from Purdue STEM, and weather with one of our local forecasters!

Perfectly Located
Central Catholic is located at 2410 S. 9th Street in Lafayette. To the south, Central Catholic is bordered by Bishop's Woods and just across the street is Armstrong Park. Campers wanting to swim and play at the park are accompanied by staff to take advantage of this wonderful community asset.
Campers may attend Central Catholic Sports Camps for an additional fee paid to the Athletic Department. Our helpful staff will ensure campers make it to the gym, track, field, or courts and back. Central Catholic Athletic Camps are a wonderful tradition, and many of our camp counselors are student athletes who will be present at sports camps as well as Summer Knights Day Camp.
