Fostering Growth · Nurturing Peace · Inspiring Curiosity
Eight weeks of nature, science, art, sports, and fitness — designed from your child's own questions and curiosities, in a safe and nurturing Montessori environment.
From the Education Director
The Montessori School of Hamilton is proud to announce Explore Your World Summer Fun Camp with Extreme Kids — a program built entirely from your child's own questions and curiosities. Every activity, every theme, every week was shaped by what children themselves ask for and reach toward.
Our curriculum divides into two complementary experiences: Explore Your World focuses on nature and environmental sciences — walks, water, wildlife, gardening, and organic discovery. Extreme Kids integrates Science 4 Kids, Kids in Motion Cardio Sports, Fit Kids fitness, and Wacky Workshops. Together they create a full-spectrum summer that keeps curiosity alive from the first week to the last.
Who Can Attend
Each camper is placed in an age-appropriate group with activities, pacing, and challenges matched to where they are developmentally — not where we expect them to be.
Ages 13 Months – 3 Years
Our youngest campers enter summer through sensory-rich, pace-appropriate adventures. Water tables, nature strolls at tot pace, gentle animal encounters, and hands-on gardening are all designed for tiny feet, curious hands, and the absorbing mind of the very young child. Discovery happens in unhurried moments — blowing the fuzz off dandelions, feeling mulch between fingers, hearing the stream.
Toddler Group
Geared to the size, pace, and curiosities of the toddler world. Puddle jumping, insect safaris, simple science experiments, and movement-based fitness build independence and coordination through joyful play.
Primary & Elementary Group
Older campers tackle the full Explore Your World and Extreme Kids curriculum — Science 4 Kids experiments, Cardio sports, Fit Kids fitness, and Wacky Workshops alongside outdoor hikes to local farms and watersheds.
Weekly Themes
Every week carries a new theme that threads through every activity — indoor and outdoor, calm and energetic. No two weeks feel the same, and every theme grows from what children are naturally drawn toward.
Roam fields, forest trails, and stream banks at a child's own pace. Sight, touch, smell, and sound connect young children to the physical world around them.
The most-requested activity every summer. Water tables, fountains, outdoor stations, and puddle-jumping boots make water's properties endlessly fascinating and fun.
Track and spot squirrels, birds, rabbits, snakes, and more on guided nature adventures. The animal kingdom comes alive through real encounters, not pictures.
