2026 Themed Summer Camps for Preschoolers June 22 – August 7
Week 1 (June 22–23 | 2-Day Program)
Shadow Tales & Light Play
Children investigate light and shadow through storytelling, movement, and art. Using open-ended materials, they experiment with reflection, transparency, and projection while expressing ideas through imaginative play and visual storytelling.
Week 2 (June 29–July 3 | Mon–Friday)
Sensory Adventures
Children engage in rich sensory experiences that invite exploration through touch, sound, movement, and texture. Sensory play supports self-regulation, curiosity, and problem-solving while honoring each child’s unique way of learning.
Week 3 (July 6–10 | Mon–Friday)
Little Chefs’ Kitchen Adventures
Children explore cooking as a language of learning—mixing, measuring, tasting, and observing changes. Through shared food experiences, children build collaboration skills, curiosity, and confidence while engaging their senses and creativity.
Week 4 (July 13–17 | Mon–Friday)
Tiny Builders & Big Creations
Children explore construction through building, designing, and problem-solving. Using blocks and loose parts, they collaborate, test ideas, and express their thinking through structure and form.
Week 5 (July 20–24 | Mon–Friday)
Garden Club
Children connect with nature by planting, caring for, and observing growing things. Gardening experiences foster responsibility, patience, and wonder while helping children understand their relationship with the natural world.
Week 6 (July 27–31 | Mon–Friday)
Masterpiece Makers
Children explore art as a process rather than a product. Through painting and mixed media, they experiment with color, texture, and tools while expressing ideas in their own unique ways.
Week 7 (August 3–7 | Mon–Friday)
Splash & Discover: Water Wonders
Children explore the properties of water through pouring, splashing, and experimenting. Water play encourages scientific thinking, collaboration, and joyful exploration while engaging the senses.
