International Summer Camp 2024

International Summer Camp will introduce your child to the global community in which we live!  Each week children will explore a new “destination” and learn about the cultures, geography, traditions, languages, art, games, and music of each country. Under the guidance of Montessori teachers, our summer camp counselors will lead your child on an interactive journey for each child to explore, make new friends, and prepare their passports for a fun-filled summer adventure.

The Glen International Summer Camp 2024 is open to children ages 3-12.  Glen families (with a student enrolled for the 2023-2024 school year) have early access to camp registration through March 1.  After that date, The Glen will open enrollment for campers ages 3-12, as space permits.  

All campers new to The Glen will be invited to meet summer faculty before their registration is confirmed and payment is required.  Please allow ample time for scheduling this meeting before the start of camp.

Campers 4 years and older can attend Field Trips scheduled throughout the summer. The cost for these experiences is included in the 5-day camp registration fee.

The Glen continues to take the health and safety of our campers and our faculty very seriously. You can find the most up-to-date information regarding our health policy here.

A Typical Day at International Summer Camp

Every day at International Summer Camp is fun-filled with activities centered around the week’s “destination.” Program components focus on the culture, geography (animals, biomes), traditions, languages, art, games, and music of each country.  

Additionally, we offer daily yoga sessions, active games, and outdoor fun that includes optional water activities. There are also periods of free choice for reading, games, arts & crafts, or quiet time.

Naptime is incorporated for Regular Day Investigators (age 3)  and Adventurers (age 4).  Following lunch, Trailblazers (age 5) have a rest period and Pathfinders (age 6-12) have a quiet reading and/or relaxation time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my child have to be a Glen Student in order to participate?

No! The Glen International Summer Camp 2024 is open to children ages 3-12.  

Because so many of our campers are very young, The Glen reserves the right to meet new campers and families before confirmation of camp attendance. Once a new camper’s registration form is completed, you will be contacted by a member of our summer faculty to arrange a face-to-face meeting. Upon completion of that meeting, please mail a check to The Glen Montessori School within one week to confirm participation. 

How are the groups separated in International Summer Camp?

The children are separated by age for International Summer Camp. Whatever your child’s age is on June 1, 2024, will define the group they are placed into – Investigators (3-year-olds, must be potty-trained – see more information below), Adventurers (4-year-olds), Trailblazers (5-year-olds), and Pathfinders (6 to 12-year-olds).

Why does my child have to be toilet trained and what does it mean? 

In order for your child to enjoy and benefit from The Glen’s International Summer Camp, they must be toilet trained. To be considered toilet trained, your child must be able to complete all steps of toileting independently, including telling an adult when they need to use the bathroom, pushing pants down, getting on the toilet, eliminating, cleaning themselves, redressing, and washing their hands. Children must be in underwear full-time, including during nap time, without accidents.
