Interested in a wonder-filled experience for your child this summer?

Welcome to our Grades Waldorf-inspired Summer Camps! 
​
Nourish your child’s inherent connection to nature and enliven a sense of wonder! Children can explore their creativity through art, crafts, and immersive outdoor play. Each day, campers will engage in hands-on activities that inspire artistic expression while learning to appreciate the beauty of the natural world. Through storytelling, crafting, and outdoor adventures, children will develop their social skills, self-confidence, and a love for learning in a supportive and joyful environment. The gentle rhythm of Waldorf education carries the campers throughout their day, ensuring a balance of activities. Come and experience the magic of summer with us!

Your child will enjoy:
  • Exploring nature
  • Making new friends and deepening existing relationships
  • Plenty of time for creative free play
  • Fun-filled activities
  • Learning and practicing new skills
  • Creating art projects with natural materials
  • A consistent rhythm

There are five weekly themes that repeat twice. Campers are welcome to attend both sessions, as they will be slightly different. Rising 2nd-8th grade campers are invited to attend. Older campers are welcome to take leadership roles by becoming Junior Camp Assistants.
