Nursery Camp (ages 2-3)
Our play-based program nurtures a child’s natural growth through structured yet flexible daily rhythms, fostering socialization, connection, and independence. This drop-off program provides a well-balanced blend of indoor and outdoor activities, inviting children to splash in puddles, dig in the mud, and dance in the sunshine—encouraging joyful exploration and hands-on learning. 2026 Nursery Camps will be offered weekly: July 6 – July 31.
Early Childhood Camps (Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten, ages 4-6)
Waldorf Education celebrates the riches of a child’s imagination. In our Early Childhood camp, simplicity is key. Toys are crafted of natural materials and feature beautiful colors and textures to encourage, but not overstimulate, the senses. There is a rhythm each day. We are helping your child build a strong foundation from the ground up. A Waldorf Early Childhood classroom is a sanctuary honoring the notion that a child’s play is their truest work. 2026 Early Childhood Camps will be offered weekly: June 22 – August 7.
