Registration is open for our fun-filled Summer Camp! Children will spend their time outdoors on our beautiful Lynn Valley campus. Leave your children with us with the peace of mind that they will be cared for in a manner congruent with our Waldorf philosophy.
We are offering three age groups for campers:

Junior Camp (6–8 yrs)
Senior Camp (9–13 yrs)
Our Summer Camp is open to all children and is a great way to taste what Waldorf School is like in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Following a daily and weekly rhythm, we will provide a healthy balance of directed activities and supervised free play. All camps will follow the latest health and safety guidelines. Our program is sure to create wonderful summer memories to last a lifetime.
