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.
