• 7th and 8th grade girls (grade in the fall of 2021) are invited to the Math and Mission Camp during June 21-24 from 9:00 am – 12:00 pm.  The cost is $75.  This camp is designed to both improve foundational math skills, as well as to dive into some logic and problem-solving. While working on problem-solving and logic, students will also learn interesting uses of math skills and everyday application. The atmosphere will be fun, relaxed, and inquiry-based. Students will be asked to figure out problems on their own, as well as apply already known skills to new situations. Upon completion, students will be prepared for both pre-algebra, algebra and have a basic understanding of some algebra 2 and geometry skills.  The other component of this camp is an introduction to their Sacred Heart mission and charism. Students will hear from current Duchesne students about their Five Sacred Heart Goals and how they live their mission. Each day students will explore a new topic, tour different parts of our school and learn about all of their fun clubs, sports, and ways that they build community and grow in their faith.
