Join us at the Children’s Schoolhouse this summer for camps! The Children’s Schoolhouse offers young children a unique play experience in a historic, one-room schoolhouse and large outdoor playground, greenhouse area, chicken coop, and raised bed gardens. Children are free to explore and play while enjoying open ended activities organized around the theme of each week’s camp. Deb and Tara, our Schoolhouse teachers, have decades of experience working with young children and look forward to seeing your children at camp this summer!
All camps run Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Campers must bring their own bag lunch. There are no food/allergy restrictions during summer camp and we are not a peanut free school.
Children must turn 3 before June 1st and may not be older than 6.
Children must be fully potty-trained with no diapers or pull-ups.
Tuition is $140 per child per session for families who do not attend The Children’s Schoolhouse during the regular school year and $125 per child per session for current and alumni Schoolhouse families. A $5 processing fee applies for each camp week registration.
Payment is required at time of registration in order to reserve a spot.
