Move. Create. Learn. All June on the Hilltop
Get ready for a summer packed with imagination, movement, creativity, and discovery all through the month of June! At Summer on the Hilltop, each week brings a brand-new theme and full days of engaging fun. Every day, students will move, create, and learn through age-specific activities designed to keep them active, inspired, and curious.
And new this year—campers can extend the fun by staying after camp for Summer Enrichment! Even more opportunities to explore interests, build skills, and make unforgettable memories.
It’s everything you love about summer… the Hilltop way. 🐯☀️

Roving Lenten Dinners
This Lent, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church continues its partnership with fellow Episcopal parishes across San Antonio for shared Roven Lenten Dinners.
Each Wednesday evening from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm, SLEC will gather at a different church to share dinner, enjoy conversation, hear reflections from clergy and parishioners, and close the evening by praying Compline together. This year’s theme, “A Journey Through Holy Week,” will explore the unique liturgies that shape the most sacred days of our church year and invite us more deeply into Christ’s passion and resurrection.
These evenings offer a meaningful opportunity to deepen our Lenten practice while building relationships with our wider Episcopal community.
5:30 pm – Dinner & Discussion
- March 4 – Reconciliation Episcopal Church (8900 Starcrest Dr.)
- March 11 – St. George’s Episcopal Church (6904 West Ave.)
- March 18 – St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (1018 Grayson St.)
- March 25 – Resurrection Episcopal Church (5909 Walzem Rd.)
We hope you’ll join us for this shared journey through Lent.
