Summer Explorations

Our Summer Programs have something for everyone

AGE 2–GRADE 1

Our youngest students enjoy a structured, classroom-based program of up to 16 students led by certified teachers. Activities are based around a new theme each week, with lots of opportunities for water play, playground time, and nature study on our beautiful 14-acre campus. Half and full-day options are available.
