THERE’S NO CAMP QUITE LIKE ALEXANDER CAMP!

It’s all about fun. It’s all about friendship. But because it’s from Alexander Montessori School, Alexander Camp is also about forging a sense of wonder and engagement in your child while respecting his or her own unique interests and personality in a loving, family-like setting.

Based on time-honored Montessori teaching methods, Alexander Camp empowers the whole child. Through a variety of stimulating activities and sensory activities, your child will discover teamwork and sportsmanship, a love of learning, and renewed self-confidence - all while having a blast!

THERE’S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

Talk about kid-friendly . . . Designed for children from 3-12 years of age, Alexander Camp is conveniently located, affordable, and offers a variety of different programs geared to your child’s age, stamina, and skill level. Our campers also come from all over the world, so no two students are alike in personality, talent, or worldview.

To meet the needs of every student, we alternate the indoor and outdoor events, varying them in length according to the activity and the age/interest of each group. And the environment is always supportive, respectful, and designed to bring out the best in each child.

ACADEMIC LABSAges 6-12Based on parent/teacher consultation, your child can bridge the summer months with ongoing instruction in the following areas:

READING LAB/ESOL – Designed to enhance reading, writing, and language development for English and non-English speaking students.

MATH LAB - A comprehensive program to enhance various math skills using hands-on and academic materials, games, and computer technology.

SPANISH LAB - Enhances and develops your child’s Spanish-speaking skills.
