The Family Schools offer an 11 week summer camp program. Summer camp takes place at our East Side location (323 East 47 Street).
Children 18 months through 12 years old are welcome to attend summer camp for any combination of days or weeks. It is a flat fee for the day, from 8:15 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., though campers may arrive later or be collected earlier.
Our summer camp is in many ways an extension of our school. Our teachers are working in summer camp, leading a relaxed daily work period, so that nothing is lost (and much is gained) over summer. We work with Montessori materials, but will adjust for every camper as needed.
Preprimary and Elementary campers enjoy a daily Special. This year, specials include Science, “3D” Art, Swimming, our Art and Art History classes, now a popular staple of our Camp and Extended Day programs, and a weekly presentation, e.g., animal educator, live music (interactive). This summer, we will also enjoy Gardening, Baking, Soccer and Chess. We are in our gymnasium and outdoors in one of our onsite outdoor play spaces every day (weather permitting).
Our Elementary campers also create a weekly theater performance for our Preprimary campers, while our Toddlers enjoy water play in our backyard every afternoon.
