Summer Programs
A season of rhythm, play, and unhurried growth.
Summer at Moonbow is designed to support children through the long, sun-filled days of the season while keeping the gentle, familiar rhythms they love.
Families can choose from two offerings: Summer-Stays, a continuation of Moonbow’s daily program, or Summer Camps, weekly themed sessions filled with creativity and joy.
Summer Stays
Our Summer Stays programs offers a warm and steady continuation of our school-year program. Children enjoy the same nurturing environment, predictable flow, and meaningful play they know—just with more sunshine, water play, and the wide-open feeling of summertime.
Summer Stays honors the big out-breath of the season: slower mornings, unhurried exploration, and simple joys shared with friends. Children will journey through gentle summer themes, settling into our “home-away-from-home” while the season slowly carries us toward fall.
Summer Camps
Moonbow Summer Camps invite children into a season of imagination and connection through themed weekly sessions. Each week brings a new adventure filled with storytelling, art, practical activities, sensory play, water days, and plenty of outdoor time.
Camp themes rotate to reflect the simple joys of summertime—creatures, colors, nature, friendship, movement, and more—offering children a magical and meaningful summer experience.
Explore Our Summer Themes
Week 1: Welcome to Summer
We’ll begin the season with sunshine, color, and creativity as children ease into summer rhythms—making simple treasures, exploring new materials, and settling into joyful play together.
Week 2: Exploring the Gardens
This week invites children into the quiet magic of the garden—painting stones, caring for herbs, feeding backyard birds, and discovering the beauty that grows right beneath our feet.
Week 3: Busy Bees and Blossoms
A celebration of flowers and the tiny creatures who tend them. Children explore soft petals, buzzing patterns, and the sweet world of bees through nature-inspired art and storytelling.
Week 4: Fruit and Fun
Bright colors and sweet scents shape this cheerful week. Children taste new flavors, explore fruit-themed art, and enjoy playful projects that feel light, summery, and full of discovery.
Week 5: Water Wonders
We’ll wade into the wonders of the sea—imagining tide pools, ocean creatures, and coastal treasures through sensory play, gentle experiments, and hands-on projects that bring the shoreline to life.
Week 6: Sky Above
A week spent looking up. Children explore wind, clouds, and flight as they build simple creations, shape sky-inspired art, and transform the classroom into a world of imaginative sky travel.
Week 7: The Forest Awakens
This week invites children to notice the quiet beauty of the forest—its colors, textures, and changing shapes. Through stories and natural materials, we explore the wonder found in leaves, branches, and the living world around us.
Week 8: Back to the Garden
A harvest celebration to close the season. Children explore vegetables, grains, and garden treasures through warm, sensory-rich activities that honor the rhythms of growth and gathering.
Week 9: Celestial Exploration
A week filled with shimmering colors and imaginative creations. Children explore swirling galaxies through art, sensory play, and hands-on projects that invite them to experiment with texture, color, and shape.

A cozy week inspired by simple campout traditions. Children build forts, craft lanterns, paint campfire scenes, make sweet treats, and enjoy playful moments that capture the feeling of summertime adventure.
Week 11: End of Summer Celebrations
A joyful close to the season filled with color, creativity, and shared experiences. Children create tie-dye flags, explore playful science with watermelon volcanoes, make sidewalk chalk art, and celebrate together with homemade ice cream.
