Summer Camp at Living Montessori offers non-stop opportunities for creativity, discovery, active play, social interaction and fun. Children ages 3.5-10 join a homeroom classroom that is thoughtfully prepared with materials and hands-on activities to engage all of their senses while promoting creativity, movement, cooperation and collaboration. STEAM-inspired activities enrich your child’s experience through Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math. Abundant sunshine and fresh air are a must as children enjoy daily play on our nature-inspired playground. Montessori elements of independence, choice and responsibility carry over into the Summer Camp environment as we continue to inspire children to be their best possible selves.

Base Camp

Children spend their summer weeks in base camps enjoying hands-on activities and strengthening social and emotional skills. These skills support the life-long friendships made here at Living Montessori. Thoughtfully crafted activities allow children to experience fun and interesting subjects as science and culinary projects keep them engaged and active.

Your child relishes the warm sunny weather with extended outdoor recesses. Recess on our four large playgrounds gives children opportunities to interact with each other and play important self-guided games that build their communication and problem-solving skills. When the weather is warm, your child suits up and run through the sprinkler or uses water sensory tubs for scooping, transferring, and splashing. Fridays are especially exciting as campers enjoy the thrill of jumping in our blow-up bouncy house! We celebrate the summer with outdoor dance parties and picnic style snacks in the sun.

Lunch and snacks are included in all base camp options, ensuring your child has the nutrients and energy they need for a day full of exciting activities. All lunches are made from scratch in our kitchen and our chefs work carefully to guarantee children with dietary needs or allergies are taken care of. Your child is exposed to a variety of whole, healthy foods early in life through our organic meal program. Additionally, Living Montessori summer campers participate in weekly culinary lessons where they make and taste foods such as breads and healthy smoothies.
