    School-Age Summer Camp

    "The land is where our roots are. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth." -Dr. Maria Montessori

    We offer a dynamic summer camp program for children ages 6-12. Our camp provides children with fun opportunities to explore, create, and enjoy the wonders of the season. Each weekly session provides a unique thematic program so children can experience a variety of topics in depth. Learning at Bright Horizons is a journey of discovery, investigation, experimentation, and collaboration. Read More

What Parents are Saying

Our greatest advocates are our families.

"Our son, Jacob, has blossomed at your school. You create a beautiful oasis of joy, learning, and community. Thank you so much for being such wonderful people and teachers!"

World at their Fingertips

Every day, kindergartners through sixth graders come to Hildebrandt to expand their school day. We offer a safe space created just for school-age children; one designed to extend the academic experience and nurture children with art, music, sports, science projects, and more. Plus, our engaged teachers focus on reinforcing classroom lessons to support individual interests and abilities, and inspire creative thought. Snacks, activities, and homework-help are all on the daily schedule. But children get a say in their day, too, with the chance to explore our indoor/outdoor areas, relax in soft spaces, and engage in a responsive environment that supports their development – the perfect setting for learning and discovery.

Learning at Home

Beach in a Bottle

You Will Need:

A trip to the beach, lake or creek, and supplies: plastic bottle, super glue, permanent marker, and a label

Directions:

Have your child fill the bottle with sand and water from the beach, along with his favorite sea shells or small pieces of driftwood. Seal the top using super glue (keep the glue out of your child’s reach and let the bottle dry before using it with him). Label with the date and location of your outing.

Tip:

At the beach, enjoy searching for “just the right” seashells. Ask your child, “Will a large one fit in your bottle?”; “How many do we need?”;  “Could a fish live in your bottle?”; “How much sand do we need?”; “Where does the sand come from?”; “Is the sand the same at all beaches?”

Try to stay away from seaweed and other living plants, since they are perishable and will rot after a while. Or, set the expectation that you’ll have a “throw-away” bottle that can only be used for a set amount of time.
