Summer Camp

Come experience CMP’s Sizzling Summer Fun. We are year-around but our Summer is extra special! Through specialized instruction, hands-on activities, and on-site field trips, children will think, create, and explore the world around them. Our Summer weekly themes provide children with the opportunity to do something they love or try something new and think outside of the box. We have weekly special events such as Sno-Foaming Snow Play, Bubble Mania, Outdoor Concerts, Wacky Science, Petting Zoo, Puppet Show, Animal Mania, Water Slide Day, and many more. Our students splash their hearts out with weekly Water Play Days on the outdoor grass area. Our Carmel Mountain Preschool children enhance their summer experience with trips to The Glenn once a week. They either get to create a masterpiece in The Art Studio, explore and get their hands in the earth in The Nature Lab & Glenn Garden, or solve problems with building in our Tinkering Lab. Our themes change each week during summer so your child will have access to a variety of experiences without leaving Carmel Mountain Preschool. CMP Summer is a fun and exciting way to make the most of summer!
