Summertime is a special time of discovery and adventure for children. Nature is in full bloom. Normal routines are on pause.
That is why a STEAM-based summer experience is the perfect way to spend a summer day.
We will use Creative Curriculum® to support our summertime adventures and whole-child approach!
We spend lots of time on our shaded playground enjoying all summer has to offer. Our campers use the resources our vibrant community has to offer to enhance the curriculum by going on walking field trips throughout the summer. These trips may include walks through the neighborhood, downtown or to a local park.
Our summer camp is particularly unique because the Creative Curriculum will support each three-week study. Our whole-child approach will allow our campers to lead the exploration of each study. Our teachers have put as much attention to detail into our summer program as they do to our school-year curriculum. And many of our teachers will be here over the summer!
Cornerstones class pods have been keeping our students and staff safe this year. We will continue to have small groups of children who will remain with their assigned staff throughout the day.
Explorers – our youngest campers (12 max)
Adventurers – the middle age group (16 max)
Trailblazers – our oldest campers (18 max)
Our camp is for children 2 1/2 thru completed Pre-K.

Sand
We are closed Monday, June 19th – Juneteenth and Tuesday, July 4th – Independence Day
Sand is especially appealing to children. They can feel the sand on their hands and under their feet. They love to dig, move, pour and sculpt. We will do that and more as our campers will learn how sand is created, where it is found, and how it is used. Sand can be found in a sandbox, sensory table, beach, or construction site. Because it is easily accessible, children can investigate it firsthand, the way they learn best. Have your camper join us to explore what we can discover about sand.
July 10- July 28
Wheels
Wheels here, they are there, they are everywhere! The world runs on wheels. From tires on our cars and wheels on our bikes to stroller wheels and scooters. Our campers will explore the wheel around them. They will discover the physical attributes of wheels, investigate how they move, and learn how people use them. We will even create our wheels. We will have a rolling good time this session; join us!
July 31-August 18
Water
Young children are naturally drawn to water. Children want to explore and play with it whenever they can. They play with water while washing their hands, jumping in puddles, or running through the sprinklers. Children use water in a variety of ways every day. Quenching their thirst, brushing their teeth, or painting with watercolors. Water is used for cooking and cleaning. Your camper will discover the importance of water and its many uses. We will conduct experiments with water and learn about the interesting people that use water in their jobs. We will have a splashy fun time- come explore with us!
