At Stepping Stone School, summer is a place where children create, move, and grow. Our Artists & Athletes Summer Break Camp blends studio art with active play, so every child spends the day painting, building, running, and making new friends. It is the same second home your child knows during the year, now filled with the adventure of summer.

Weekly themes

Week 1
Space Explorers

Children blast off into a week of stars, planets, and rockets. They build model spacecraft, learn how astronauts live in orbit, and map their own constellations.

Week 2
Ocean Adventure

We dive beneath the waves to meet the creatures of the deep. Children explore tide pools through hands-on experiments, craft sea life art, and discover why our oceans matter.

Week 3
Jungle Safari

The classroom turns into a rainforest full of curious animals. Children track jungle wildlife, build a canopy fort, and learn how creatures big and small share one habitat.

Week 4
Superheroes in Action

Every child discovers the hero inside them. Through teamwork games and kindness challenges, children learn that real superpowers are courage, helping others, and standing up for friends.

Week 5
Around the World

Children pack their passports for a tour of cultures across the globe. They taste new foods, learn greetings in different languages, and create art inspired by countries near and far.

Week 6
Dino Discovery

We travel back millions of years to the age of the dinosaurs. Children dig for fossils, build a life-size dino footprint, and learn how paleontologists piece the past together.

Week 7
Under the Big Top

The circus comes to Stepping Stone School. Children try juggling, balance games, and playful performance skills, then put on a show to share with family and friends.

Week 8
Summer Games Finale

We close the summer with a week of friendly competition and celebration. Children team up for relay races, group challenges, and a showcase of everything they learned all season long.
