Summer Camp Fun!
CCEP Summer Camp offers 8 weeks of summer of fun in the sun! CCEP Summer Camp offers more than just a place for children to play during the summer months. It offers an extension of our school-year program.
Year round, we educate young children through inquiry, discovery, and investigation. This summer, teachers will provide invitations for children to learn about a variety of science topics such as the water cycle, the life cycle of a plant, habitats, building, animals, bugs, and birds. Each invitation is hidden in a nature walk, a game, a craft, or a story.
We maintain a strong sense of community through the summer by keeping small, weekly cohorts for students with consistent teachers and friends. The faces that greet you on Monday are the ones you’ll learn with all week.
As a year-round, provider of early childhood education, we are experts in nurturing and honoring young children. We offer plenty of time for free play and exploration of our 22 beautiful acres consisting of multiple playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, the Walnut Groves, our circle “racetrack,” our labyrinth, nature trails, butterfly garden, birdhouse, and a bee pollination garden. We pair that with time for guided learning and discovery by our certified classroom teachers. Surrounding all of that play and learning is careful attention to teaching and modeling kindness, patience, manners, inclusivity, service, and generosity to our campers.
