Summer Program

Summers at Pre-K in the Park are the best! Our summer program, Orchard Camp, is a joyful, nature-filled preschool experience. Each day we head out on “adventures,” our name for the daily walks we take to local parks and neighborhood businesses. Most afternoons are spent at the West Side Recreation Playground and splash pad, where play and laughter fill the air.

​

Many of our children attend year-round, but we always keep a little room for families who wish to join us just for the summer. Students enrolled during the school year are also welcome to take a summer break and return in the fall. Our summer session is a full 8-week program. 

​

Each week brings a new nature-based theme—from mushrooms and clouds to natural dyes and bugs—inviting children to learn through hands-on discovery and creativity. 

​

One of our most beloved traditions is a special daily game called “Trade,” eagerly anticipated by the children all year long. summer also wouldn’t be complete without the Billy Stories—Mrs. Heather’s treasured tales from her own childhood about Billy, a mischievous yet lovable dog whose adventures always bring laughter and connection.

​

Our summer days are full of sunshine, curiosity, friendship, and wonder—everything childhood should be.
