Every day

Creative Learning and Discovery

Paint, build, sing, pour and experiment. Children explore what interests them at their own pace, and the process matters more than a perfect finished product.

What happens at summer camp?

  • Weekly themes that kids build on all week
  • Outdoor games and sports every day the weather allows
  • Field trips every other week
  • Art, reading time and quiet corners for kids who need a break

Camp is for school-age children up to 13. See school-break and summer care.

How does creative learning work for little ones?

Infants explore textures, sounds and mirrors. Toddlers paint, pour and stack. Preschoolers run experiments, build, act out stories and make music. Teachers plan each week around what the children are curious about.
