Your child's brain benefits from stimulation all year, not just from September to June. Steppingstone's summer camp is ready to fill your child's need for quality enrichment and fun throughout the summer. Recreation is combined with learning in a relaxed, caring and safe environment that provides diverse and challenging activities.

Steppingstone's program is unique because it offers children the opportunity to choose the theme week they wish to attend while those children who enroll for the whole summer are provided with a new and exciting topic every week. The small student to teacher ratio allows for a high degree of individual attention. Children are placed in developmentally appropriate learning groups consisting of 8-12 children per instructor.

Our program was designed by Kiyo A. Morse, Head of Steppingstone School, and is run by professional staff assisted by camp instructors. Summer is just around the corner and registering for Steppingstone's Summer Camp is the best way to start your great summer experience.

We’ll make our own wands (with some tips from Mr. Ollivander, of course). For our final day of camp, you may come in costume, and we’ll enjoy some butterbeer and goodies from Honeyduke’s.
