One of the students favorites... Sleep over night 

Each year in summer camp the children have a school sleepover. Children never forget this wonderful event-- letting the ladybugs go in the garden, watching the stars, listening to the night sounds, hearing stories around the "camp fire", getting into their PJs brushing their teeth and snuggling in to their sleeping bags for a good night's sleep. When they awake in the morning everyone is ready for breakfast, putting away their things and it is time to go home. In 30 years we have had only 2 or 3 children who were reluctant. They are all well prepared and have a wonderful time.

We will have a different subject each week.

Each week we will offer a variety of arts & crafts, science& cooking projects, and painting based on entertaining themes which coincide with the activities each week. Activities also include swimming, specialty sports, and more!

Program

Summer camp begins June 13th - August 11th.
The schedule is Half day 8:30-11:30 and Full day 8:30-2:30.
Extended care is available from 7:30 to 6:00 for a fee of $4.50 an hour.

Includes:
Five days a week of fun and learning activities, swimming lessons (Provided a swim instructor is available), and snacks (parents provide lunch for full day students– Half day students-no lunch).

 

Instruction and guidance are individualized, according to the Montessori philosophy. The atmosphere is non-competitive and planned with careful regard for each child's personal sense of dignity. Classes are ungraded, so children participate in activities suited to their own developmental level. Arbitrary age norms are not applied, and no child is forced into an activity if he or she is not ready or is not interested and able. This concept fosters a positive self concept, self-motivation and genuine enthusiasm for learning.
