FR: Shining Stars Camp

Shining Stars Camp is part of Father Ryan High School's Summer at Father Ryan program, offering a morning arts experience for kids in kindergarten through eighth grade. With an age range of 5 to 14, it works for a wide spread of kids — younger elementary students and older middle schoolers can participate together, which is handy if you have siblings at different stages. The camp runs June 8 through June 12, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM — a half-day format that's easy to build around other summer plans. At $185 for the week, it's a reasonable value for a structured arts morning at an established Nashville private school campus. Father Ryan's Summer program runs multiple specialty camps simultaneously, which suggests a well-organized setup for families dropping off and picking up. If you're looking for a creative, low-key first week of summer, this is a solid option for kids with artistic interests. Families also explore FR: Dance Camp and FR: Theatre Exploration for similar arts options at the same Father Ryan location.
