International Summer Camp at The Glen
Montessori education is a leader in global education; in summer camp, The Glen dives deep into introducing children to cultures and countries worldwide, helping them connect their experiences to those of children in other countries.
Your child will develop their imagination and powers of abstraction while they explore the geography, traditions, languages, art, music, and games of international cultures while receiving continued literacy activities with dedicated reading time each day.

Essential Info for Summer Campers
What to wear and bring to camp
Your camper should wear play clothes that can get messy. Athletic shoes are the best choice (no flip-flops permitted).
Each day, campers should come to camp:
— wearing sunscreen
— and bring a backpack with:
– a spill-proof water bottle
– lunch (no heat-ups)
– towel, crocs, or an extra pair of shoes, and
– extra clothes in case your camper needs to be changed.
Each week, your camper must bring:
— sunscreen (labeled with name)
— naptime supplies (ages 3-5), and
— a change of clothes.
Daily water activities are available for children as weather permits. Children will not change into swimsuits, but crocs (or an extra pair of shoes) and towels are helpful to send daily. No water shoes, please.
Lunch
Lunches are brought from home daily. A reusable lunch box with reusable containers and spill-proof water bottles is suggested. We are not able to heat food, but refrigeration is available. Half-day campers are also encouraged to bring lunch or a snack. Lunch is at 11:30
The Glen is a nut-free campus. Please read labels carefully and do not include nut products in your child’s lunch. If nut products are included in the lunch, they will be returned home unopened.
If your child has any allergies, please be sure to identify their allergies during registration and alert the summer camp coordinator. See the Allergies, Medications, and Sunscreen section on this page.
Field Trip Days: Children should have a fully disposable lunch with no reusable containers, including disposable beverage containers. Refrigeration and heat-ups will not be available.
Drop-off and Pick-up
The Glen will continue to handle drop-off and pick-up through carline only.
Daily Carline for International Summer Camp (Birth-to-Three carline may differ):
Morning Drop-off: 8:15-8:30 am
Afternoon Pick-up: 3:40-3:55 pm
Morning Session campers are picked up at 11:55 am at the front door. Parents should park in a designated parking spot and meet their children near the flag pole.
Late fees apply following the designated pick-up times listed above. See more information in the 2025 International Summer Camp Parent Handbook
Late drop off/pick up
If you arrive after the carline, park in a designated parking spot and walk your child to the front door. Please buzz the intercom, and a staff member will meet you at the door to welcome your child.
Please be aware that this may take several minutes; limited staff will come from the classrooms to escort your child to their group. The Glen strongly encourages the use of carline – it is an easier transition for your child and keeps everyone on time for their mornings!
You may never park in Governor’s Drive during non-carline hours, even for a quick pick-up or drop-off. It is an emergency access lane, and your vehicle could block emergency vehicles accessing the site.
Allergies, Medications and Sunscreen
Staffing assignments differ in the summer; if you are a year-round Glen student, your child’s summer teacher will not be the same as the school year. Therefore, all medical/allergy communication must go through the summer camp coordinator and be updated before the start of summer camp. This includes, but is not limited to, any Action Plans, medication, and instructions regarding medication and allergies.
Allergies
If your child has any allergies, please be sure their allergies are identified when you register and that both the summer camp coordinator and your child’s summer counselors are notified.
Medication
All medications should be sent in original prescription bottles. Any medication that needs to stay on the school campus must be accompanied by a formal ‘Action Plan,’ which can be obtained through the school office. No medication, sunscreen, lip balm, or hand sanitizer may be in the child’s possession.
Sunscreen
Parents should apply sunscreen before dropping their child at The Glen every morning. Summer camp counselors will work with your child to ensure sunscreen is applied again before going outside in the afternoon. Parents are responsible for providing a bottle of sunscreen that will remain in the school building.
Field Trips
Campers 4 years and older can attend occasional Field Trips throughout the summer. The cost of these trips is included in the 5-regular-day camp registration fee. School buses will provide transportation.
Field Trips are for regular-day campers (8:30 am-4:00 pm); 3-regular-day campers can attend if the field trip falls on one of your chosen 3-day dates. It is not an option for AM-only campers.
Parents are required to sign additional permission forms before each field trip. Children without specific permission will stay behind with younger campers.
