On today’s episode, we meet Justin Zappia, our Director of Auxiliary Programs, and learn more about Summer@TCA camps and classes.
Justin and his wife moved to the Dallas area a few years ago for Justin to work at TCA. Justin has a background in the private school world as a classroom teacher, summer camp director, and director of auxiliary programs.
Justin directs programming for TCA’s After School Care, Enrichment and summer programs. The Enrichment program was started a few years ago and has greatly expanded its offerings. There are almost 400 students registered for After School classes for mainly the Lower School. Families love the opportunity to have their children involved in these programs after school without having to drive all over Dallas.

In talking about Summer@TCA, camps and classes are both offered! Upper School students are mostly offered classes rather than camps. Classes include College Application Essay Writing, summer reading, technology, computer programming, and art.
For Middle School, we offer not just reading and math classes, but also musical theater and many athletic camps. Football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, softball, cheer, dance, and baseball athletic camps are popular with both Middle and Lower School students.
The Lower School has the most offerings with amazing opportunities this summer including art, cooking, and music camps. STEM summer opportunities include drone programming and obstacle courses, Drobots and robotics, LEGOs, K’NEX as well as multiple StemQuest camps.
One of the biggest draws last summer was our new Trojan Day Camp for kids entering grades K to 4. Kids start the day in large group worship and then go through the day in grade-level groups participating in STEM, art, Bible study, and water activities. They end the day with some fun competition as a big group. Last summer we got great feedback from families about how much they loved the experience for their kids and how their kids grew in their faith as a result of Trojan Day Camp.
