Summer Camp 2025

Take Advantage of Early Bird Pricing, now through March 31!

Our Summer Camps 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.
In the mornings, our Grades campers will enjoy 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 will also enjoy themed crafts, stories, and games; explore and play on Walnut Hill; and take a gentle rest in the afternoon.
Each week will have a theme. Themes will be announced soon, and you can see examples of past themes below.
