Summer Camp at
Summer camp at Saratoga Playroom is a nature-focused, play-based summer program for children ages 3-5. Our goal is to provide neighborhood families with a summer option that allows children to spend their days outdoors, connecting with nature and with one another, exploring, investigating, and learning from each other. Each week, we will start with a nature-inspired theme: wind, colors, water, earth, etc. The teachers will present children with open-ended questions, books, and materials to inspire play. Where we go from there is up to the children! Teachers are keen observers, and will help campers to explore and investigate their interests, learn from each other, and of course, have fun all the way through!

Attire
Children should arrive at camp wearing swimsuits, sunscreen, and water shoes. Please pack a full change of clothes for after water-play. Please also know that we will spend time outside every day, except in the case of extreme weather.
Naps
No campers will be required to sleep, but we will have a quiet rest period each day, during which children engage in quiet, solo activities (or choose to sleep). This down-time allows for reflection and regulation in the afternoon.
