Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, SMS blends Montessori principles with dynamic hands-on experiences, ensuring children develop essential life skills while having fun. SMS’s Summer Camp is designed to inspire curiosity, foster independence, and create lifelong memories in a vibrant, engaging environment.
A camp designed for every child
At Sammamish Montessori School, summer camp is more than just a break from school—it is an immersive learning adventure that respects each child’s individuality while encouraging exploration and creativity. Open to children ages 18 months to 9 years and running from June 23 to August 22, 2025, the camp offers age-appropriate activities that cultivate curiosity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Each two-week session featuring a distinct theme, campers experience new adventures spanning science, geography, creativity, and active play.
Toddler & Montessori summer camps
Our toddler summer camp provides a warm, nurturing environment tailored for children aged 18 to 36 months. Designed with Montessori principles in mind, this program gently introduces young learners to independence, coordination, and early language development. Through hands-on activities, sensory exploration, and structured play, children gain confidence in their abilities while engaging in a carefully prepared environment suited to their developmental needs. This camp is an excellent opportunity for toddlers new to the Montessori approach, helping them ease into a structured routine before the school year begins.
The Montessori primary summer camp is ideal for children aged 3 to 6, offering a structured yet playful introduction to the Montessori philosophy. Led by experienced Montessori teachers, the program immerses children in a thoughtfully designed classroom where they develop concentration, social skills, and a love for learning. Whether your child is new to Montessori or preparing for the transition into the school year, this camp fosters independence and confidence in a supportive setting. Through engaging activities, hands-on materials, and individualized learning, children build a strong foundation that prepares them for success in the academic year ahead.
