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

Recycled Materials Family Band

You Will Need:

Music, wood, plastic or metal surfaces to use as drums, wooden and metal spoons to use as drum sticks, paper towel rolls, waxed paper, cups, plastic wrap, materials (such as uncooked rice or beans) to put in the maracas.

Directions:

With your child, look at pictures of musical instruments, such as drums, kazoos, and maracas, and then make and play them.

Make drums from empty coffee cans with plastic lids, round oatmeal containers, or pots and pans
Make kazoos by placing waxed paper over one end of a paper towel roll, adhere the waxed paper with tape, and then poke two or three holes in the waxed paper.
Make maracas by putting pebbles or uncooked rice or beans in plastic cups, then sealing the top with paper and tape. Supervise the use of dried rice and beans closely, as they can pose a choking hazard.
Play music and dance with your child, playing the different instruments as you dance. Encourage her to play all of the instruments.

Tip:

Play games such as follow the leader -- take turns imitating what your child does and having her imitate what you do. Try creating a family marching band.

What Your Child Can Learn:

Following directions
Listening skills
Discrimination between different sounds (a kazoo sounds different from a maraca)
Creative movement
