Summer days full of play and discovery
Our Summer Camp offers safe, joyful weeks of outdoor exploration, creative projects, and small-group activities inspired by Montessori principles.
Each week has a different theme—nature, art, science, and adventure—so children can try new things and build friendships.
Families could sign up for any or all weeks individually—choosing the sessions that fit their family's summer plans.
Summer Camp was open to all children ages 2.5–12—you did not need to be a current student to join. Everyone was welcome!
