Registration for Summer Camp 2020 at Marin Waldorf School is now open!

Staffed by our experienced early childhood teachers, Summer Camp at Marin Waldorf School is a magical six weeks of imagination, play, and time in nature for children ages 3.5 to 6 years old.

Closely following the rhythm of Marin Waldorf School's regular early childhood day, we spend the sunny summer exploring the natural world and playing beneath the old oak trees on our 10-acre campus. We tell seasonal stories and learn new crafts, and participate in a range of summer activities like gardening, water play, and exploration.

  • 6 week-long sessions starting June 22 and ending July 31

  • Two camp options: Regular Day Camp from 8:30am to 3pm, and Extended Day Camp from 8:30 am to 5pm (See Daily Schedule below)

  • 8:30 am – 5 pm $500/week for early registration. $525/week after March 22.
