Full Day Camp near Portland, Maine
Welcome to Summer Session - it's a full 7 weeks of Summer Camp - ROOTS style! We’re committed to making this summer easy breezy - you know, how it should be - by providing an option for families looking for consistent care and plenty of fun throughout June and July.
We will spend our days primarily outdoors. Engaging with nature, a variety of art materials, music, and play. Our days are designed to unfold easefully, with ample time to settle in and get to know one another.
In addition to traditional summer camp arts activities, each week will also include exploration of a culture or country and an object (STEM or Nature Related). These mini introductions to Place provide a familiar format to current Roots students and a great entry point for children entering our summer camp program from other settings.
