Summer Science Camp
Why Choose New Morning School Summer Science Camps?
At New Morning School, we pride ourselves in providing STEM education both throughout the school year and into the summer weeks. We spend the morning keeping your child active with hands-on learning experiences with engaging topics of Science.
We use the afternoon for summer learning and fun, mostly in our large playground and field area, giving children the summer fun experience they crave with friends. Water play activities, outdoor games and science extension, in the outdoors.
We hire our own teachers to support and teach over the summer months. Many teachers and aides are from our exceptional New Morning School staff. WE KNOW KIDS!!!
We believe that hands-on and experiential activities are how kids retain what they are learning. Each week, your child will participate in an immersive experience, such as an in-school planetarium, or a field trip that connects to the week’s topic.
