Weekly Summer Classes in 2024
This year, all week-long learning camps are set at two hours, but we have carefully created space in our learning schedule to add an hour to either the start or end times of many of our week-long camps.
More time means more learning!
Please let us know as soon as possible if your family is interested in a three-hour-long week-long camp.
Weekly classes meet once a week for four/five weeks throughout the summer.
Our weekly summer class offerings are still under construction. We currently have a third-grade weekly summer class schedule.
If you are interested in a weekly kindergarten or first-grade offering, please get in touch with us as soon as possible.
Please call for inquiries and interest.
