Orientation Summer Camp

15 months – 3 years* 

Orientation Summer Camp Coordinator: Courtney Schaffner – cschaffner@ssesh.org

The student-to-teacher ratio is 6:1. Early enrollment is encouraged.

*At the discretion of the teachers and Principal, older Orientation children may be moved up to the Primary Summer Camp following an assessment in the first week.

The goal of Orientation Summer Camp is to provide continuity in the Orientation community. Each session features a special focus taught within the Montessori class environment. Children build relationships with teachers and friends, enjoy outdoor play, and develop skills.

Primary Summer Camp

3 years old – rising 1st graders

Primary Summer Camp Coordinators:

Primary Camp is designed to foster an appreciation of the natural world and to encourage interest and wonder. Each session will involve outside academic and creative opportunities. Games, crafts, experiments, stories, dance, and practical life lessons are included in our camp experience. Reading and math lessons continue during the summer session to curb skill regression and to build new skills for the school year.
