Summer Camp Fun!
CCEP Summer Camp offers 8 weeks of summer of fun in the sun! CCEP Summer Camp offers more than just a place for children to play during the summer months. It offers an extension of our school-year program.
Year round, we educate young children through inquiry, discovery, and investigation. This summer, teachers will provide invitations for children to learn about a variety of science topics such as the water cycle, the life cycle of a plant, habitats, building, animals, bugs, and birds. Each invitation is hidden in a nature walk, a game, a craft, or a story.
We maintain a strong sense of community through the summer by keeping small, weekly cohorts for students with consistent teachers and friends. The faces that greet you on Monday are the ones you’ll learn with all week.
As a year-round, provider of early childhood education, we are experts in nurturing and honoring young children. We offer plenty of time for free play and exploration of our 22 beautiful acres consisting of multiple playgrounds, outdoor classrooms, the Walnut Groves, our circle “racetrack,” our labyrinth, nature trails, butterfly garden, birdhouse, and a bee pollination garden. We pair that with time for guided learning and discovery by our certified classroom teachers. Surrounding all of that play and learning is careful attention to teaching and modeling kindness, patience, manners, inclusivity, service, and generosity to our campers.
Here’s what our families say about Summer Camp!
“Our son has had the BEST summer, and we are so incredibly grateful.
The intentionality the teachers bring to each week, the amazing activities, art projects, and creativity have been phenomenal. Our son comes home every day so happy, talking about his new friends and telling us all about what he learned. With a new classroom, new teachers, and new kids, you never quite know how things will go -- but the warmth of his teachers has been top-notch. They truly get to know every child, and that is something we will never forget. His dad travels every week for work, so he follows Brightwheel religiously to see pictures of all the fun. He is constantly messaging me about how impressed he is by the activities, the smiles on the kids' faces, and the incredible effort that goes into making every single week feel special.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything. We are so grateful to be part of a school where our kids are so loved, while constantly learning, exploring, creating, and growing. It truly means so much to our family.” CCEP Parent - Camp 2026
