Join us for Summer Camp!
At Ivybrook Academy, summer is a time for exploration, creativity, and growth. Our summer camp programs are thoughtfully designed to engage children in fun, hands-on activities that align with their developmental needs. By placing children into multi-age classes based on their age during the camp session, we ensure that every child enjoys a meaningful and enriching experience.
We believe that summer is an opportunity for children to explore their interests, discover new skills, and deepen their understanding of the world around them. Our lesson plans and activities are tailored to meet the needs of children at each developmental stage, fostering curiosity and confidence in a nurturing environment.

Our beginner camps are designed for the inquisitive nature of our youngest learners. Activities in these camps focus on multisensory exploration and discovery, sparking creativity and joy in learning.
Intermediate camps provide hands-on investigations that build upon children’s growing understanding of the world. These engaging activities encourage problem-solving, collaboration, and curiosity.
Advanced camps challenge older children to deepen their knowledge and develop higher-level thinking skills. Through dynamic, interactive activities, campers gain confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
Every lesson and activity is tailored to meet the developmental needs of each age group.
Camps incorporate the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies, encouraging creativity, independence, and collaboration.
Our trained educators bring expertise and passion to every activity, ensuring that children are supported and inspired.
From creative art projects to hands-on science experiments, our camps balance excitement with meaningful educational experiences.
Children are placed in multi-age classes based on their age at the time of the camp session. This allows them to interact with peers at similar developmental stages while benefiting from collaborative learning.
If you have questions about the appropriate camp level for your child, our school’s Principal is happy to assist you in making the best choice.
