Francis Parker Wyverns Alumni

Summer Camp - Francis Parker School of Louisville Summer just got a lot more curious! Francis Parker’s “Camp Curious” welcomes all students in the Louisville area to a summer of exploration, imagination, and discovery in small camp sizes led by expert teachers in a nurturing, exciting environment.

2026 PRESCHOOL CAMPS: A Season of Wonder

This summer, we invite campers into five weeks of hands-on exploration, creativity, discovery, and joyful play. Each week is thoughtfully designed around a theme that sparks curiosity and encourages imagination — from nature and art to science, community, and storytelling.

With engaging projects, collaborative experiences, and our beloved midweek water play, campers will build friendships, confidence, and lasting summer memories. It’s a season filled with wonder, laughter, and meaningful learning — the perfect blend of play and discovery.

PRESCHOOL CAMP SESSIONS

Session 1: Wonder in Nature
June 1 – June 5 / 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Campers will explore the magic of the natural world through hands-on discovery! From sensory tables and scavenger hunts to leaf printing and nature weaving, we will create, build, and observe. Midweek brings “Creek & Pond Day,” water play with floating experiments and habitat bins. We’ll end the week with a mini campsite adventure and a beautiful Nature Art Walk to celebrate our discoveries.

Session 2: Wonder in Art
June 8 – June 12 / 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
This week is all about creativity in action! Campers will experiment in a color mixing lab, collaborate on a large-scale mural, and design their own sculptures. Wednesday’s “Water as Art” transforms spray bottles, watercolor, and ice into creative tools. We’ll wrap up the week with a Pop-Up Art Gallery where campers will proudly showcase their masterpieces.

Session 3: Wonder in Science
June 15 – June 18 / 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Curiosity leads the way as campers become little scientists! From sink-or-float investigations to magnet exploration and simple engineering challenges, each day is filled with hands-on experiments. “Splash Lab” water play on Wednesday features boat races, bubble stations, and droppers for real scientific fun. The week concludes with a Little Scientists Showcase to celebrate our discoveries.

Session 4: Wonder in Community
June 22 – June 26 / 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Community comes alive through dramatic play, creativity, and kindness! Children will run a post office, create friendship bracelets, and collaborate on a kindness mural. Wednesday’s “Car Wash & Helper Day” water play highlights the important roles helpers play in our world. We’ll end the week with a joyful Community Parade and Lemonade Stand — a celebration of connection, teamwork, and caring for others.

Session 5: Wonder in Stories & Imagination
June 29 – July 2 / 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Imagination takes center stage in our final week! Campers will draw story inspiration from favorite books, design costumes, and create puppets. Midweek, water play transforms into a magical “Pirates & Mermaids” (or Fairy Garden) adventure filled with treasure hunts and small world play. Children will build cardboard castles or clubhouses before presenting their creations at our Storybook Showcase — a grand finale of creativity and storytelling.
