Treehouse Learning, a longtime leader in quality Early Childhood Education in Boulder County, is now offering weekly summer camp sessions for incoming 1st-3rd grade in our River Classroom, and for incoming kindergartners! Our 2023 camp sessions were a great success, 

Sample of Summer Camp Activities

Summer Camps will be offered in two distinct age-based groups

Incoming Kindergarten students and Incoming 1st-3rd grade students will be grouped in age-appropriate cohorts and gather in different classrooms

Incoming Kindergarten Students in Evergreen or Forest Classrooms

Incoming currently enrolled Kindergarten students will be in our Forest PreK classroom with dedicated professional Preschool teachers.

The summer learning activities are based on our Montessori and Reggio Emilia-inspired approaches to child-directed, play-based learning experiences in a prepared and purposeful environment with skilled educators facilitating and guiding learning. During the summer months, much of our learning transitions to outdoor classrooms and learning environments, effectively inviting children into immersive learning experiences that support the development and academic preparation of the whole child in a joyful and playful way. Camp experiences are themed around engaging learning concepts on a weekly basis.
