Camps
PWS offers exceptional camp experiences during school breaks and over the summer.
2023-24 School Year Camps:
Camps are open from 8:30am-3pm and open to the community. We encourage friends and families interested in PWS to sign up for camp. All camps include a variety of artistic activities, games, time outdoors, seasonal offerings, and more!
Each session includes an Early Childhood (EC) Camp for children in preschool and kindergarten, and a Grades Camp for children grades 1-6.
Summer Camp 2024
Our Summer Program will take place here on our beautiful Portland Waldorf School campus where there is plenty of shade and river breezes, and lots of spring water to cool us down! Camp days hold a familiar Waldorf school rhythm of in-breath and out-breath, including rests and ample time for free and structured play inside and out.
Each morning our Grades children enjoy a wonderful Guest Teacher with a themed activity, story and snack, and in the afternoons they will take a Wonder Walk with their teachers to Elk Rock Island, Milwaukie Bay, or another nearby nature spot to explore or gather. Early Childhood children will explore and play on Walnut Hill and have a gentle rest in their cozy nests after lunch.
Camps run weekly, Monday-Friday, 8:30am-3pm. $450/student per week. Sign up for one or several weeks.
