Summer Programs
Registration is now open for our 2026 programs!
Our summer programs will commence the week of June 15. We will have 9 separate one week programs this summer. We will be continuing with the same themes we had last summer: Gardening, Herbalism, and Natural Arts.
Summer Schedule
Each week will have its own theme: Gardening, Natural Arts, Herbalism. There will be projects or activities that the children will work on throughout the week that revolve around the theme of that particular week. The structure of each day will still be the same as our normal school year programs and will still be largely focused on play based learning.
