summer adventures, waldorf style
Remember the kind of summer you wished could last forever? Hot days, big imaginations, grass-stained knees, and stories you retold for years. That kind of summer is what we do best.
At Chicago Waldorf School, our camps invite children into a season filled with outdoor fun, creative discovery, and the simple magic of being a kid. Give your kid the kind summer that makes these memories.

Our Early Childhood Summer Camps offer a play-filled rhythm inspired by Waldorf education. Young children spend their days outdoors in our beloved Sun and Moon Park, listening to nature fables, enjoying storytelling, exploring free play, creating nature-based crafts, and soaking in the magic of summertime. Give your child a place to wander, wonder, and grow—join us for a season of joyful outdoor play.
