The camp uniquely combines authentic Montessori education with traditional summer camp activities and extensive field trips throughout New York City, offering individualized academic support alongside enrichment.
The Montessori School of New York International's "Sights and Sounds of New York City Summer Camp" offers a dynamic blend of authentic Montessori education and traditional summer camp experiences for children aged 2-14. Campers engage in hands-on activities centered around biweekly themes, culminating in enriching field trips to iconic New York City destinations such as The American Museum of Natural History, The Bronx Zoo, and The New York Aquarium. Beyond exploration, the program actively works to prevent "summer slide" by continuing academics, with individualized reading and math support for preschoolers and test preparation opportunities for elementary students. Enrichment activities span cooking, dance, dramatic play, arts and crafts, music, and language. Specialty coaches lead various sports, including gymnastics, yoga, martial arts, tennis, and chess. Older children further their understanding of science and biology through experiments related to their field trips. The camp fosters independence, self-motivation, decision-making skills, confidence, and creativity, culminating in an end-of-camp talent show.
A typical day blends Montessori activities, traditional camp fun, and academics, often including field trips to New York City attractions. Rainy day activities feature cooking, dance, dramatic play, and elocution.
This camp is ideal for children aged 2-14 seeking a well-rounded summer experience that combines academic enrichment with exciting cultural explorations of New York City, fostering independence and a love for learning through a blend of Montessori principles and traditional camp fun.
