Summer Programs

Turning Point Summer Camps serve as both a bridge to and an extension of our signature Preschool, Elementary, and Middle School programs. Students continue to explore the key elements that define their social, physical, intellectual, ethical, and emotional growth while enjoying the fun of summertime. Our safe and inclusive environment provides the perfect place for campers to practice creativity, leadership, friendship, well-being, independence, and self-advocacy.

Focus lessons will also be available this summer in virtual format.

The school year is done, but the summer fun has just begun! Celebrate that beginning with our special four-day Start-of-Summer Camp, run entirely by our expert summer camp team.

Early Childhood Programs

From birth to age 5, a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in life. Preschoolers’ brains definitely do not “hit pause” during the summer months!

WEEKLY SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER

We offer summer-long opportunities for your preschooler/Pre-K child to continue to explore their world in a nurturing and stimulating environment under the guidance of full-time teachers who are experts in early childhood development.

Returning Early Childhood Division students are invited to join us for our Turning Point Early Childhood Summer Camp. There are eight weeks to choose from, and the cost is included in tuition for the school year. For more information, please contact Sharon Cox, Early Childhood Division Head.
