New! A Montessori Summer
Don’t put a pause on learning this summer! Combine the magic of Montessori with the fun of summer camp programming with our 'A Montessori Summer' program. This new summer program will support independence and a love of learning with a consistent Montessori environment.
Designed to help prevent learning loss as your child engages with academic content during the morning work cycle, the program also includes fun afternoon camp activities that cover a range of topics, from circuitry to game design. For those new to Montessori, this is an excellent option to spend a week or two experiencing the Montessori difference.
Montessori Mornings
In the mornings, the children will work with their guide to complete a full Montessori work cycle, featuring:
- Individual and small-group lessons in math, writing, science, history, and art.
- Child-led research projects that spark their curiosity and fuel their love of learning
- A prepared environment of enriching hands-on materials for every subject, fascinating books, and dedicated space to move, create, and collaborate.
- Support in building critical work skills like time management, growth mindset, and organization.
- A tight-knit, mixed-age community where collaboration, mentorship, and inspiration are the norm.
Camp Afternoons
In the afternoons, the children will deepen their learning within an engaging camp experience, featuring:
- Exploration of diverse topics such as art, music, circuitry, and building design.
- Weekly themes which spark curiosity and enable deep learning, solidified by a final, fun project at the end of the week.

Weekly programs that spark curiosity, exploration and fun
While the morning work cycles will focus on lessons in math, writing, science, history, and art, the afternoon camps are designed around specific weekly themes for students to discover and investigate. Students will take part in creative projects, singing and playing, outdoor games, field trips and more, all wrapped up in that week’s theme.
May 29-June 2: Music Makers
The name says it all…Music Makers is a week filled with music, movement, and maestros! Students will build and play their own instrument inventions, learn about music theory, and interact with music through writing, dance, and drawing, ultimately ending the week by performing a live show for their friends.
June 5-9: Science and Circuitry
Become a mad scientist, or let some sparks fly…either way your kids will be in for hands-on and experiment based fun in our Science and Circuitry themed week! Campers will use potatoes to create their own battery. They will create a light up wand and learn how to make straw rockets. Or maybe your child will practice disappearing coins or eggshells, and learn how to levitate an object. Whichever choice they make this week will be full of a WOW factor and surprises – it’s a classic camp favorite!
June 12-16: Game Design
Get ready to create your own games and learn how designers think about creating the next Connect 4! Children will spend time exploring the mechanics behind their favorite games and learn design principles for them to create their own masterpiece.
June 19-23: Drawing and Design
Kids will love learning all about the basics of art and getting their hands dirty with Drawing and Design. Portrait drawing, tessellations, 3D drawing, and parabolic art (look it up) are just some of the projects kids will work on during this week’s theme. There is lots of meaning to unpack from math and patterns in parabolic art, to the origins of portrait drawing and how it has evolved in modern times (hint: selfies).
June 26-30: Spectacular Structures
From birdhouses to bridges to forts, campers will observe, explore, and create spectacular structures and learn about the origins of building throughout history, from the first human shelters to structures that meet other societal needs like bridges or water dams.
July 3-7: Mythology
Explore the mythology of ancient cultures and how these myths represent early beliefs about the world. Students will learn ancient myths through read aloud, playing games, and engaging in other activities that help them explore this fascinating world of Gods and Monsters.
July 10-14: Fantastic Fibers
Tote bags, tie-dye, dream catchers, and braided bracelets…what do these all have in common? They are all made of one common element, fibre! During Fantastic Fibres students will work on fibre-inspired creations while learning about their use in different cultures, for example Kumihimo, the traditional Japanese technique for making braids and cords.
July 17-21: Theatre and Improvisation
Act out a play in this week of performance! Children will explore the role of actors and learn to read a script and explore the ancient roots of theater. Children will also play improvisation games and learn the art of thinking on your feet!
July 24-28: Need for Speed
Get ready to test the boundaries of DIY inventions with Need for Speed! Using simple materials, campers will set all sorts of creations in motion – from rubber band racers, catapults, tornado bottles to pool noodle boats. And of course, they’ll get to end each day putting them to the test in a race!
July 31-August 4: Taking Flight
Similar to Need for Speed, this week is all about building contraptions, you guessed it, that fly high! Taking Flight will keep kids busy building balloon rockets, dragonfly copters, boomerangs, paper airplanes and simple kites – and tie back into a broader theme of innovators that defy what is “known”. What could be more fun?
Changing the world, one student at a time
We are a school where children find the joy in learning — and thus make it possible for them to continue learning for the rest of their lives.
To think mathematically.
To solve problems.
To create things.
To encounter great literature that inspires their character development.
To build themselves as capable, efficacious beings.
To place themselves in history and in society.
To spark meaningful friendships and deep personal values that last a lifetime.
Our goal at Guidepost Montessori is to serve each individual child, to help them realize their limitless potential, and the opportunities they will have to create real and lasting change throughout their lifetime.
