Class Experience
Join us at Cottonwood this summer for a dynamic, collaborative, student-directed summer camp experience! Our mixed-age camps give all kids practice in self-directed learning. Our facilitators work with campers to identify individual and common interests and plan adventures and projects each week based on the weekly theme. Favorite themes and projects from last year include:
Water Resort
- Island fruit popsicles
- Island Sea fishing
- Building a resort
Music Moves the Soul
- Trip to a local record store
- Making a music video
- Dance party
Games, Games, Games
- Turn cottonwood into an arcade
- Play live action games
- Design board and card games
At Cottonwood Summer Camp, the kids get to design their camp experience! Our creative facilitators will offer things they are passionate about too. Activities could include such things as science experiments, song writing, collage, comic book making, etc. Everything we do is rooted in play so kids are sure to go home happy, having played all day.
Camp runs from 9AM-3PM Monday-Friday.
**Extended Day will be offered each week as long as we have a minimum of three kids enrolled. A refund for extended day will be given if the minimum is not met.
