Top 5 Summer Camp Programs in Houston, TX

It’s important to keep children occupied and entertained during the summer! Even more, it’s important to provide them with a setting that not only encourages activity but also learning. Montessori schools are the perfect solution!

 

Montessori education is student-led and self-paced but guided, assessed and enriched by a knowledgeable and caring teacher, according to the American Montessori Society. Lessons are hands-on activities that require the child to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity. Ultimately, the Montessori curriculum fulfills both educational and fun needs.  Learning doesn’t feel like learning here — it’s just another fun school day!

 

We’ve gathered a few of our favorite Montessori summer camp programs in Houston. Take a look!

 

Smaller Scholars Montessori Academy

The learning fun doesn’t stop with summer! The Smaller Scholars Montessori Academy provides campers a welcoming and educational environment to learn and prevent the summer slide.

“I couldn’t be happier with our experiences in the Toddler and Primary classrooms for both our children. Everything from potty training to science, math, and social skills were taught in such a way to make it seem effortless and natural.

 

We have also had a great experience with the Elementary school during the summer camps where our child came home excited every day and voluntarily explaining the things they discussed during camp. There was definitely no summer slide because the camps kept the kids engaged and entertained.” -Great Schools Parent Reviewer
