About Summer Camps

We are excited to announce that we've restructured Emerson Waldorf Summer Camps to be a more unified and engaging camp experience for all ages!

Each week will feature a unique theme, providing a thread for individual camps to build upon. Campers (6 years and up) will have the opportunity to participate in multiple activities throughout the day, rather than being limited to a single theme camp for an entire week. In this way, the summer camp schedule will mirror the flow of a school day, providing multiple opportunities for learning and fun. Select Specialty Camps will also be offered for those who wish to focus on a singular activity. 

Themes for the 2027 Summer Camp season for ages 6 and up will be announced in January of 2027.

Each section will be grouped by age, with a maximum of two sections per age group:

• Childhood Magic: 4-6 years old

• Sprouts: 1st & 2nd Grade 

• Saplings: 3rd to 5th Grade 

• Elderwoods: 6th to 8th Grade

• 15 to 18-year-olds may apply to be a CIT 

• Counselors In Training (CITs): Middle Schoolers and older are eligible 

For our older, more experienced campers, we offer the opportunity to help out as Counselors-in-Training (CITs). Each CIT will be assigned to one or more theme camps and will assist the lead counselor with activity set-up, supervision, and generally making sure campers stay safe and happy. This is a great opportunity for young adults to develop leadership skills and experience. Applicants with some child care or babysitting experience are preferred. Interested students or parents can contact Nikki Fryer at summercamps@emersonwaldorf.org.

At check-out, you may either pay in full or submit half the total amount as a deposit, paying the second installment by May 1, 2027.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions: summercamps@emersonwaldorf.org

CANCELLATION POLICY: Spaces in our camps are limited in order to provide a quality experience for campers. If your plans change before May 1st, a cancellation fee of $100 will be deducted from any refund. After May 1st, no refunds will be given unless your child’s spot is taken by another camper. Emergencies and unavoidable conflicts will be addressed by the camp director on a case-by-case basis.
