Early Childhood Summer Enrichment Program

(For ages 3–6)

Our Forest program is designed to engage children in exploration of their environment. Our Forest campus is located on Spa State Park land, which features numerous forested hiking trails and ample yard space for climbing, gardening, digging, playing, and working. A restored farmhouse provides a nurturing indoor space and respite from extreme weather.

Each week is led by a particular theme of focus, and water play will be incorporated each day to provide fun and relief from those hot summer days. Join us for a summer of fun, exploration, and adventure at the Waldorf School of Saratoga Springs Summer Enrichment Program!

lOWER sCHOOL SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

(FOR GRADES 1–5)

Our lower grades program is designed to engage children in sustainable and environmentally-friendly crafts and activities that encourage exploration, experimentation, and self-expression. Our indoor and outdoor arts and crafts activities will allow children to explore their creativity in a variety of ways. Whether they’re working with paints, or other materials, our teachers will encourage them to experiment and discover their own unique artistic vision.

In addition to our creative endeavors, we’ll also take time to explore our neighborhood and experience it in new and exciting ways. From trips to local parks, we’ll discover the beauty and diversity of our area while learning about the importance of sustainability and environmental stewardship.
