Summer at Busy Hands Montessori

Led by Montessori-trained guides, our summer camps offer children the opportunity to continue learning in a relaxed, engaging environment that honors independence, curiosity, and joyful discovery.

Summer 2026 Camps:

• Track & Field ($480) June 15-June 18, 2026
• The first week of summer will be some fun in the sun! Students will compete in running races, long jump, high jump, javelin throwing, and more during this fun week centered on sports. Children will also learn about sportsmanship and what it means to collaborate as a team during this week.
• Gardening ($520) June 22-June 26, 2026
• We will start off the summer by making an impact on our outdoor spaces. The students will create a landscape design, plan a walking path, choose flowers & shrubs, and work together to bring their ideas to life. Lessons on botany, native plants, and how to care for a garden will be part of this fun week. This week will also include learning about pollinators - you can’t have a healthy garden without them! We will have a visit from a local beekeeper as part of our studies.
• Classical & Fine Art ($520) July 13-July 17, 2026

• Food Science & Cooking ($585) July 20-July 24, 2026

This week includes a cooking class with parents on Friday, July 24.
• Reptiles & Amphibians ($585) July 27-July 31, 2026

We will have a visit from a reptile and amphibians expert this week to bring our studies to life!
• Mad Scientists ($520) August 3-August 7, 2026
