PEAR TREE SUMMER CAMP is NOW REGISTERING for our 2024 SUMMER PROGRAM!
We are serving children ages 4 -11. Pear Tree Summer Camp will also offer a CIT (Counselors In Training) session for children ages 11-13. CIT’s support the sessions with the younger campers, gain experience in leadership training / community building, play games and create art / crafts with their peers.
​
This year, our popular summer camp will consist of four different summer pods: Preschool / Transitional Kindergarten, Kindergarten - 2nd grade, 3rd -5th grade, as well as our fourth leadership cohort of Counselors in Training (CIT's).
​
Pear Tree Summer Camp specializes in 1.5 hours of morning mathematics to prevent summer learning loss. The rest of the day involves visual and performance art, sports, science & culinary projects that revolve around weekly themes. We also have walking field trips for the older groups and fun Friday events that culminate after each weekly theme’s activities.

CAMP HOURS : 8:15am - 3:00pm
