Today officially marks ONE MONTH until the start of Summer Camp 2026! Just one month from today, our Apple campers will be busy in our schools learning, exploring, making new friends, and building new skills all while enjoying their summers in a safe, supportive environment.

If you're still considering your child's summer plans, let us share 5 things you may not already know about our camp program:

😎We offer creative play, hands-on discovery, and themed weeks all rooted in the Montessori philosophy.
😎There's a water offering at all locations. While some locations include pools and swim lessons, others offer an off-site swimming option and/or sprinklers and water play, so every child in our camps can spend plenty of time staying cool while enjoying outdoor time.
😎Children ages 4+ can take part in field trips to places like nature centers, museums, and aquariums.
😎Our trained teachers take part in summer camp to ensure that what makes Apple special during the school year carries over into the summer months.
😎We know your schedule is busy and often unpredictable, so we're flexible. You can sign your child up for eight weeks of camp, or explore a more customized plan that works best for your family. Just ask the director for details.

Apple Montessori Summer Camp is the perfect place for your child to spend their summer vacation! Don't miss out, as weeks are filling up fast across our locations! If you haven't already, be sure to self-schedule a camp tour at a time that works for you.

There is something magical about watching a tiny seed transform into a thriving plant. 🌿 For children, gardening is more than just an outdoor activity—it is an opportunity to explore, discover, and connect with the natural world in a meaningful way.

As we celebrate National Gardening Week, we're recognizing the many ways gardening supports learning, growth, and development in the Montessori environment. Whether children are planting flowers, tending a vegetable garden, watering seedlings, or observing insects at work, every moment spent in the garden offers valuable lessons that extend far beyond the soil.

Growing More Than Plants: Celebrating National Gardening Week | Apple Montessori Schools Happy National Gardening Week from Apple Montessori!

One of the most special events of the year!

Summer is often associated with sunshine, water play, field trips, and carefree fun — and at Apple's popular summer camp, children certainly get all of those experiences. But summer camp can also serve another important purpose: helping children build the confidence, independence, and social-emotional skills that set them up for a successful school year.

For many children, especially younger learners or those entering a new classroom in the fall, summer camp can act as a gentle bridge between school years. It keeps routines familiar, encourages continued growth, and helps children ease into new environments with confidence.

Summer Camp: A Stepping Stone to the School Year? | Apple Montessori Schools Summer camp can be a helpful bridge into the school year for children.

When families think about summer camp, they often picture a way to keep children busy until school starts again. At Apple, summer camp is so much more than that!

Our summer program is intentionally designed to blend excitement, exploration, and enrichment — giving children all the joy and freedom of summer while continuing to nurture confidence, independence, and growth. It’s a camp experience that feels like summer should: full of adventure, discovery, friendships, and memories that last long after the program concludes. From daily swim lessons and field trips to technology, cooking, art, and sports, every day is carefully balanced to give campers a summer they’ll never forget.
