PARENT TESTIMONIALS
“SRS gave them the confidence to try new activities…because their time at SRS demonstrated that trying different things can be a very positive experience. Most importantly, SRS allowed them both to have a strong sense of self going into high school, along with a belief in demonstrating respect for all of their peers, regardless of how close or distant they were in their relationships to others.”
Maryellen and Craig R., Alumni Parents
“SRS has made it possible for us to be a full time working family and have our children thrive in a full school experience. The flexible hours and on-campus experiences combined with the great education and loving teachers it has been well beyond what we could have imagined. Shaker is a place that our children love to be and as parents we know when we drop them off they are safe and happy.
Tracey P., Current and Alumni Parent
“SRS does not just provide excellent academics, but a strong sense of community, as well. SRS is a family, so much so, that my two graduates have come back as camp counselors during summer camp. Another amazing strength of Shaker is all the opportunities and field trips offered outside of, or in support of, academics. Some of my kids’ greatest memories are the trips to D.C., AMC, leadership, etc. “
Erin L., Current and Alumni Parent

Camp Shaker Olympics Week was a blast! Here are the final standings. A big thank you to all the teams, counselors, and counselors-in-training for an amazing week full of competition, team spirit, and fun!
#shakerroadschool #srssummersession #campshaker
Last week`s Camp Shaker Olympics was packed full of games and challenges! Four countries in each division faced off against each other, competing in games like dodge ball, kickball, volley catch, relay races, water polo, basketball knockout, golf, soccer, flag tag, gaga ball, street hockey, and even a biathlon! Congratulations to the gold medal winners: Ireland (Minis), Canada (Rookies), and Australia (Juniors/Seniors).
As is tradition, the final day of Olympics Week featured a camp-wide Fox and Hound game (pictured), where counselors were the foxes and campers, the hounds. The best part: campers who found and tagged hiding counselors got to push them into the pool! Stay tuned for videos of the soakings.
Thanks to all the CITs, counselors, and campers for making Camp Olympics such a fun week with your spirit, teamwork, and enth#campfun
