Summer Camp 2011
Welcome to the Montessori Schoolhouse 2011 Summer Camp Season!
Our camp programs are packed with creative activities that help engage children in the discovery of the
world around them while leading them toward greater independence, concentration, and respect for
others. Montessori children learn purely for the joy of learning itself and our goal is to continue nurturing
that desire during the summer months in a safe, caring environment.
Our days are filled with both outdoor and indoor play, craft activities, wagon rides, plenty of water play
(sprinklers and water tables), and educational games and stories. We’ll tend our vegetable and flower
gardens, eat lunch outside at the picnic tables (weather permitting), and make many new friends. While
each theme lasts for two weeks, each week will incorporate different activities so it will not be repetitive for
those who are joining us for both.
Summer camp is open to children from the age of two years and through six years old and
Montessori Schoolhouse alumni up to age eight. Children between the age of 18 months and two years
old who are enrolling for the 2011/12 school year may be able to attend our camp program with prior
approval by the Toddler Director.
Campers do not need to be registered school-year students to attend camp. 2010/11 students will have
priority registration until April 1st, then we will open it up to non-students.
Camp registration forms are due by May 15th along with a non-refundable $25 deposit per week.
We will continue to take registrations after the 15th if openings remain. Confirmation packets will be
sent to those who register and will include health forms, emergency contact forms and other information
about summer camp. Space is not guaranteed until confirmed by the school office.
If you register for any of the first four weeks (June 27 – July 22), payment is due by June 17th. If you
register for any of the last four weeks (July 25 – Aug. 19) payment is due by July 15th .
Kathy Glimenakis and Stacie Hixson are the Camp Directors again this year and will alternate working
with the older campers over the age of three and a half. Kathy is the Montessori Toddler Program Director
and one of the original founders of our school. She later joined our teaching staff in 1996 and received her
Montessori Infant & Toddler Certification in 2000. Stacie has been our After-care Director since 1992 and
holds a Master’s Degree in Special Education. Both will bring their experience, creativity, and love of
crafts and nature to the camp programs.
Jennifer DeMarrais and Theresa Eck will be working with our toddler campers again this year. Jenn is
the Montessori Toddler Program’s Lead Assistant and Theresa is the Preschool Program’s Lead Assistant. Both
have been with us for over 5 years. We will have additional camp assistants as needed to maintain a ratio of one
adult for every five toddler campers and one adult for every seven preschool campers. Generally, the additional assistants are some of our regular school year staff and substitutes. All of our core staff have received CPR,
First Aid, and Water Safety training.
For more information please contact the Administrative Director – Lisa LeBlanc at (603) 352-3301.
We hope to see you this summer!
