Summer Camp

The Hickory Program is offering a Summer Day Camp for students who benefit from continuing their learning journey after the school year is finished. Academic, social, sensory, and motor development needs will be furthered. Concepts learned during the school year will inform the instruction. The camp is offered for rising Grade 1 – rising Grade 6 students, and is held Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm. Using a multiage teaching approach, students will have the chance to be supported based on their phase of learning instead of by age and grade. Academic support and instruction will be individually designed and implemented based on teacher and parent input. In addition Integrated Movement and Sensory Exercises, Arts and Crafts, and Social Skills classes will be offered throughout the day to prepare for academic learning. Classes will take place outside and inside with an emphasis on outdoor learning and play!

Señora Concha and Frau Pilgrim are pleased to offer a Foreign Language Learning Day Camp this summer for rising 4th-8th graders at all levels.

Our certified and experienced Waldorf Foreign Language Teachers will provide an enriching summer space on the Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School campus, where children can immerse themselves in foreign language learning experiences at a pace that feels positive to each individual.

Campers will work in both Spanish and German each day. We will practice speaking, writing, and reading, while also participating in age-appropriate projects involving drawing and crafting with paper and natural materials.

Sessions are two weeks long and run Mondays through Fridays from 9am to 2:30pm. Each session costs $1,000 per camper with a deposit at time of registration.

Campers should bring their own water bottles, snacks and lunches each day. We will be both indoors and outdoors. They should wear appropriate outdoor clothing including sun hats, walking shoes and water shoes. Please have your child apply any sunscreen prior to arrival. Campers will be asked to turn off all personal electronic devices between 9am and 2:30pm.
