Homestead Summer Session
Ages 3-12
Mon-Fri $350 per week
The Homestead Summer Session blends the joy of summer camp with the focused attention to exploration and discovery through the Montessori approach to learning. It is led by experienced educators who guide every activity with care and enthusiasm. Nestled on 100 acres of fields, forests, and creeks, our children explore the outdoors, try new skills, and deeply connect with nature.
With a balance of hands-on STEAM learning and summer-fun adventures—from hiking and creek exploration to games, sports, and archery—kids enjoy an academically rich experience that’s as exciting as it is educational.
Our first Summer Session begins Summer 2026 at our lovely Glen Spey campus for children 3 to 12 years old.
