Outings are open to all Epiphany families. Parents are
responsible for their own children and family lunches or snacks.
Please RSVP to all outings so we know how many to expect and have a way
to contact you with last minute information.
We have
planned a fun year of after school learning, day trips, and nearby
camping opportunities. Check the web site for details about the
camping trips. They are all close enough for a day trip if you
choose not to camp. Be sure and make your cabin or campground
reservations early if you are planning to stay overnight on the camping
trips. There are links to both the Georgia and the Florida State
Parks reservation procedures on our web site.
After school sessions will be on the fourth Monday of each month from 2:45 - 3:30. Please return the family registration forms at the first meeting in September.
