Welcome to Great Beginnings Summer Camp.
Great Beginnings Summer Camp 2024:
-
Bumblebee Camp (ages 2-3)
-
Huckleberry Camp (ages 3-6)
The Great Beginnings Montessori School has been a local non-profit for 38 years and has offered Summer Camps since 2007! Our Summer Campers spend most of their time outside, having a great time observing nature, water play, science experiments, as well as daily arts and crafts. Concepts are introduced using hands-on activities, and activities which are specific to age groupings.
Our summer program runs Monday-Thursday, 7:45-3:30. We do offer an extended day option, ending at 4:00.
Monday
Artful Adventures
Each Monday children will tap into their artisitc abilities with sculpting, collages, painting and more! Children will also have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of songs, dance and musical instruments!
Tuesday
Fairy Gardens & Gnome Homes
Bring your imagination and curiosity for this creative camp! What fun the fairies and gnomes will have with the homes, playgrounds, and gardens we make for them. Who knows, they may come out of hiding and join in our circle games and songs. Explore the fairy realm and create fun arts and crafts.
We will also be looking at storytelling and fairy-tales.
Wednesday
Weird Science
Each Wednesday the children will be involved in amazing discoveries as they create scientific experiments from everyday objects. Pop dry ice smoke bubbles, experiment with solar bags, whip up a batch of elephant toothpaste, and be dazzled by solar power!
Air is one of the most popular themes for science fair projects. When you explore the properties of air, you discover that air occupies space, has weight and exerts pressure.
Thursday
Sports Camp
Challenge yourself and others as you face obstacles that will engage your “team player” attitude. Come enjoy obstacle courses, soccer, balancing, tumbling, yoga, dancing and more!
*All campers will have bike day on Thursday. Please be sure to bring bike and helmet at morning drop off. Bumblebee and Huckleberry campers can bring push bikes or scooters if preferred.
