CAMP HARBOR

SUMMER 2024
LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!

The Harbor School’s summer camp, CAMP HARBOR, is open to campers ages three and a half through ten years old. Our program has both a full day and half day option for campers. In congruence with our mission, CAMP HARBOR encourages discovery, inquiry, and creativity as campers explore our weekly themes!

CAMP HARBOR provides opportunities for older students to participate as well. Extending the CAMP HARBOR experience to older students is a wonderful way for non-Harbor families to get to know how truly special Harbor is, and for alumni families to stay in touch!
