Santa Cruz Montessori

Summer Programs

Our summer session includes a range of fun and stimulating sessions in sports, arts, outdoor education, and academic enrichment. With flexible, full-day programs, each with a special focus, you have the flexibility to plan an active, exciting, and educational summer for your child. Please call for a complete schedule of summer classes and summer camps.

Santa Cruz Montessori summer programs are open to children from ages 18 months to 12 years. Each of our classes/camps is limited in the number of children attending, and the small class size allows us to provide attention to each child in a family atmosphere.

Primary Summer Classes

The goal of our Young Children's Community and Primary summer classes (1-1/2 to 6 year olds) is to provide a relaxed and interesting environment for our youngest students. The classes can be used for care throughout the summer or for a short session of enrichment. Each session has a special focus within the regular Montessori class environment.

Children 18 months to 6 years old can attend for as little as a few hours each day to full days (8:00 am–5:30 pm). See below for more details about the summer camps we are offering in 2009. For a more complete description of 2009 summer programs and a summer camp application, download our SCM Summer Stretch 2009 Brochure (PDF).

Elementary Summer Programs, Classes, and Camps

Our elementary summer program (6–12 year olds) gives children opportunities to explore areas of interest in more depth and also provides full-day recreation programs for students needing care. Camp experiences are also available—they let children experience the beauty of Santa Cruz, and all that the Monterey Bay Area has to offer, through boogie boarding, cooking, writing, singing, dancing, guitar, Lego robotics, rocketry, web design, and computer animation camps.

Children 6 to 12 years old can attend for as little as a few hours each day to full days (8 am–5:30 pm). See below for more details about the summer camps we are offering in 2009.
