Summer Camps
Summer at Creation Acres Montessori centers on meaningful work, creative expression, and hands-on exploration of the natural world.
Children and young teens ages 4-15 spend their days caring for the land and animals, creating with natural materials, building and making by hand, and investigating the systems that sustain life, from soil and water to food and ecosystems. And, of course, there are lots of fun and games!
Ages 14-15 can attend at a discounted rate through our Leaders-in-Training program.
Each week offers new projects within a consistent, child-centered rhythm. Campers work and play in a mixed-age community, with activities grouped by age and skill so every child can explore, create, and grow at their own pace.

Camp Features
Farm & Garden
Children care for the land through hands-on gardening and daily farm work, learning responsibility, patience, and where food truly comes from.
From Seed to Table
Campers experience the full cycle of food—planting, harvesting, preparing, and sharing—building a meaningful connection to what nourishes us.
Animals & Habitats
Through daily chicken care and close observation, children learn to respect living creatures and understand the ecosystems they depend on.
Nature-Inspired Art
Using natural and found materials, children create functional and expressive art inspired by the beauty and textures of the land.
Builders & Makers
Children and adolescents design and build with real tools and materials, developing problem-solving skills, confidence, and creativity through hands-on making.
Water, Soil, & Sun
Campers explore natural systems through experiments and stewardship, discovering how water, soil, and sunlight work together to sustain life.
Old-Time Skills
Children practice traditional handwork and simple tool use, learning the value of patience, craftsmanship, and skills passed down through generations.
Young Entrepreneurs
Campers turn ideas into projects, creating goods, setting goals, and learning the basics of value, exchange, and collaboration.
Leaders-in-Training
At a discounted rate, teens, ages 14-15, mentor younger campers and assist with daily projects, building leadership while continuing to engage in hands-on farm, art, and science activities.
