Summer Camp
Summer Discovery Program – 2022
Welcome to the Pincushion Hill Montessori School Summer Discovery Camp. We are guided by the educational philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and are a warm, safe, and supportive community that nurtures a lifelong love of learning. Pincushion’s Summer Discovery Camp offers fun-filled adventures tailored for children 2.9 years old through 10 years old. Our discovery sessions explore a variety of themes including ocean studies, gardening, wildlife, exploration of the natural world, creating, building, lego programs, arts, crafts, music and movement. The theme for this summer will be climate change.
Our extensive and mature gardens offer pure fun to explore everything from growing annuals, perennials, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. The weekly seasonal harvest yields many varieties of food for cooking and baking projects.
Weekly sessions begin June 13, 2022 and run through August 12, 2022. The school is closed on Monday June 20 and on Monday July 4. The summer camp hours are 8:30am to 5:30pm. Whether joining us for part of the summer or the entire 9-week camp all children are sure to enjoy learning, playing, and creating in our indoor and outdoor classrooms.
