LET'S GET MESSY CAMPS

(JUNe-AUGust)

IMG_8059.jpg

Camps are for children ages 3-5 (6 year old siblings & alumni are also welcome!) 

Camps are intended to offer an open-ended, exploratory, fun and hands on experience for young children over the summer. Daily opportunities involve painting, digging, going on nature scavenger hunts, building, drawing, getting wet, playing with friends, beading, dancing and exploring. A great deal of time is spent outside, weather permitting.

Camps are taught by The Morningside School’s teachers who are experienced and caring educators. Regular activities will be supplemented by experiences based on the children’s interests as well as endeavors that the teachers feel might offer the children opportunities to expand their reach and understanding of the natural and outdoor world.
