Summer Session / Summer Camps
Children learn and play while engaging in fun activities geared towards special topics of interest.
Summer Sessions & Camps
Montessori summer camp at North End Montessori School in Manchester, NH is a wonderful environment and opportunity for children to experience Montessori during summer months outside of our typical classroom academic year.
From June to September, campers enjoy a mixed-age, less-formal summer curriculum that includes plenty of outdoor activities and supervised water activities. Older students benefit from opportunities to share their knowledge with younger children, and younger students learn from their older peers.

Our Montessori-inspired summer programs are a valuable alternative to traditional summer programs for preschoolers and summer programs for elementary students.
The nurturing warm environment of our curriculum engages campers in weekly themes as well as quiet time.
