Thrive Education Camp is a STEM-focused summer program part of the Summer at Father Ryan series, held on Father Ryan High School's campus off Norwood Drive in South Nashville. Open to students in kindergarten through eighth grade (ages 5–14), it covers a broad range of science, technology, engineering, and math topics suited to elementary and middle schoolers. The program runs in half-day blocks — mornings from 9:00 AM to noon or afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00 PM — giving families flexibility to stack it alongside other summer activities. Seven sessions are offered between late May and late July, so there are plenty of windows to fit your schedule. Weekly cost runs $185 to $400 depending on the session, which is competitive for a program at this campus. Father Ryan's high school facilities give campers access to science and technology spaces that most elementary schools simply don't have, making it a nice change of environment for younger kids. Families also explore FR: Science Guys Camp and FR: Bloxels Video Game Design for similar STEM options at the same location.
