Rdale summer programming

Robbinsdale Area Schools (Rdale) is the perfect summertime place for your student to unplug, have fun, and socialize with friends. 

Featuring small class sizes and no tests or worksheets, the district has a variety of summer camp-like programs that we think will spark your student's curiosity, while also allowing them to play games, get outside, and hang with friends.
