At Rowntree Montessori Schools, we’re proud to offer a learning experience that stands apart from the rest. Rooted in a Montessori-inspired curriculum, our approach goes beyond the classroom, connecting education to real-world, everyday experiences.
An education at RMS is more than academics—it’s about empowering students through personalized, student-centered learning in every subject. It’s about immersive, hands-on experiences that bring classroom lessons to life. It’s about nurturing each child’s social-emotional growth and, above all, fostering respect for every student as an individual.
We believe this transformative style of learning shouldn’t pause when the summer arrives.
Summer camp plays a crucial role in a child’s developmental journey, offering far more than just fun activities. It’s an opportunity to extend learning beyond the classroom and keep the momentum going throughout the summer break.
At its best, summer camp enhances education by blending exploration, creativity, and hands-on experiences in a way that keeps young minds engaged and growing.
Here’s why we believe summer camp is just as essential to a child’s education as the school year itself:
- Build a love for lifelong learning: By extending the lessons taught in school, children see the value in round-the-clock education and discover new interests that may have been hidden before.
- Develop your social skills: Through teamwork, communication, and leadership activities, campers develop confidence and build relationships. They return to school ready to explore their talents with renewed enthusiasm.
- Learn resilience and adaptability: Trying new things and meeting new people are at the core of our summer camp experience. Campers step out of their comfort zones, discover new passions, and learn to overcome challenges with confidence.
- Create lasting memories: Educational camps offer more than just summer fun. Campers form meaningful friendships that last a lifetime and build connections with mentors who continue to support them throughout the school year.
At RMS, we have a theme for every interest. Each week has a new theme, keeping our campers engaged and interested while they learn new skills and discover their interests. This year, you can expect to see:
- RMS Got Talent: Through engaging workshops in music, dance, magic, and singing, campers will build their confidence and creativity, preparing for a spectacular talent show at the end of the week.
- Mini Olympians: Campers will experience the thrill of sports through team challenges and friendly competitions, celebrating teamwork and individual achievements while earning medals for their participation in the closing ceremony.
- Inventors & Builders: A STEAM Adventure; with hands-on projects in science, technology, engineering, art, and math, campers will collaborate to invent unique creations, fostering their problem-solving skills and innovation.
- Barnyard Buddies: Children will get up close with farm life, learning about animals and engaging in fun, farm-themed crafts and activities that foster an appreciation for nature and the environment.
- Colour Splash: Campers will unleash their artistic talents through vibrant painting projects, splatter art, and collaborative murals, celebrating creativity in a fun and colourful way.
- Dino Discoverers: Young paleontologists will dig into the fascinating world of dinosaurs, engaging in fossil hunting and dino-themed crafts while learning about these prehistoric giants.
- Science Lab: Aspiring scientists will conduct exciting experiments that spark curiosity and wonder, exploring the realms of biology, chemistry, and physics through interactive activities.
