SUMMER CAMP 2025

LEARN. PLAY. EXPLORE.

Online camp registration is closed.

Please email emilybell@ourplayhousepreschool.com to inquire about weekly availability and being added to the waitlist.

We offer unique camp topics and an exciting summer curriculum based on sensory, art, building, music and movement activities! Each week-long camp session will focus on students’ interests in gardening, outdoor explorations, music, storytelling, art, and more. During the sessions, teachers will work to provide materials and provocations to allow children to explore each topic in greater depth. Of course, there will be plenty of time for outdoor exploration too!

Preschool summer camps are for children aged 2-5, with options for the morning (12:30 pm) and extended days (3:00 pm). Incoming younger 2-year-olds must be registered for our fall school program to attend summer camp.

Camp Themes

Let's Go Camping

Week 1: June 16 - 20
In this nature-focused camp, children will turn over logs to discover hidden creatures, spy on songbirds among the trees, and imagine the forest through the eyes of a squirrel. We’ll seek adventure between the trees and go on camping excursions under the great blue sky.
Prorated for 4 day week. Closed June 19th.
We are the Dinosaurs

Week 2: June 23 - 27
Hang on tight as we rewind the clocks to before the dinosaurs disappear. In this blast to the past, we will meet creatures who roamed the earth millions of years ago during the Mesozoic Era. We’ll learn how big a brachiosaurus was and wonder how long a t-rex’s teeth were. Friends will delight in the history of these carnivores and herbivores as they stomp to life in this dinosaur romp.
Excellent Experiments

Week 3: June 30 - July 3
During science week, we will don lab coats and goggles and test our hypotheses. Campers will learn about the scientific method and perform experiments to learn about measurement, substance mixing, reactions, and more!
Prorated for 4 day week. Closed July 4th.
Amazing Architects

Week 4: July 7 - 11
Everyone, grab your hard hat; we have building to do. Campers will test various structural materials this week and study basic architectural concepts. We will make new shapes out of toothpicks, compare the strength and sturdiness of wood vs. paper vs. brick, and spend a lot of time manipulating magna tiles.
Big Messy Art

Week 5: July 14 - 18
Campers will have a blast creating and, of course, getting messy with various art mediums and materials. We will combine ingredients to make fantastic slime, explore new and interesting ways to get paint on paper, and learn how to mix and match all of the colors of the rainbow!
Things that Go

Week 6: July 21 - 25
Everybody rev your engine and get ready to explore things that go! We will experiment with balls and wheels to observe how and why they roll, then create our own vehicles! We will learn about many types of vehicles, from cars to trains to boats to planes and beyond!
Music Makers

Week 7: July 28 - August 1
Get ready to rock this week! We will jam out, learn fun songs, and dance the camp away! Through fun stories and songs, we will explore shakers, jingle bells, rhythm sticks, and hand drums. Campers will have a blast making music together and creating instruments to take home.
Under the Sea

Week 8: August 4 - 8
Join us on an underwater adventure! We will dive into the vast ocean as we discuss aquatic creatures, big and small, the kinds of vessels that can help us explore the depths of the sea, and some oceanic geography! There will, of course, be lots of watery sensory play and many ocean stories and myths.
