Play - Work - Explore - Discover

Parker Montessori's Summer Camp program offers a diverse array of activities, games, arts, and outdoor adventures that feed the mind and body. Each camp leads campers into discovery and learning about environmental sciences, bugs and plants, habitats, ecosystems, organic gardening, outdoor safety, geography, map studies and much, much more.

Whether indoors or outdoors, campers are always under the care and guidance of our nurturing and experienced Montessori teaching staff. Four two-week sessions are available for both full and half-day programs.
