At Children’s Manor and Childrens Magnet Montessori Schools, our Summer Program curriculum is based on weekly themed activities, enrichment programs, and field trips to engage children in a fun, educational way. Research has shown that summer learning loss (the loss of skills and knowledge over long summer breaks) can impact students of all ages. Educational summer programs such as what we offer can play an important role in combating this decline in skills and knowledge. Our summer program runs for 9 weeks beginning June 27, 2020.

Face it! Parents want their kids to have good manners and to hang out with other kids who have good manners. As a parent or grandparent, we request the same behaviors over and over again, but it does not always seem to stick. This camp is a fun way to reinforce those skills you are teaching at home. The campers will use lots of hands on play to learn and practice these skills that are a necessity in today’s world, but which are too often forgotten by kids and adults alike. Topics include shaking hands, eye contact, introducing yourself and others, making conversation, table manners, common courtesies, telephone skills, being a good host and guest and writing thank you notes.

Offered thru Howard County Rec & Parks.

Make learning manners fun! It is never too early to learn these ever important skills. The earlier you start learning to shake hands, to look someone in the eyes and to introduce yourself and others, the more likely it is that these skills become second nature. Campers are amazed how much fun learning these skills can be when you get to color, use puppets and dress ups, and lots of fun props to practice these real life skills. In addition to the above topics, campers will also learn conversation skills, table manners, magic words, telephone skills, being a good host and guest and how to make new friends.

Offered thru Howard County Rec & Parks.

Visit our 530 acre working farm for a true fun-filled educational experience! We offer outdoor programs through mid August by reservation only. Perfect for day camps looking for a unique experience!

Ponds, Puddles, & Creeks: Your guide will bring you by hayride to the Cattail Creek. Make sure you wear old tennis shoes or water shoes as we go into the creek to catch a variety of the critters that live there. After catching them, we take time to identify what we have found, and learn about their habitats and life cycles. After releasing the critters we head back to the barnyard to feed the farm animals!

Wonderful World of Worms: Your guide will teach the children about worms and they help turn food scraps into compost. Students will learn how to compost with worms, what to feed them & how compost is used. All children will get to touch dirt & worms! Children will pot a plant to take home! A hayride and feeding the farm animals is also included!

At Slayton House Theatre Camp of the Arts, our programming provides access to theatre arts and creates an environment where campers can take risks while building meaningful relationships.

Our camp provides learning opportunities where campers develop and strengthen their social skills while also improving their performing skills. The performances at the end of each session are an opportunity for families to see the self-confidence that emerges as well as the growth each child has made.

We are a permitted camp through The Maryland Department of Health, meaning we must be in state compliance before opening each year.
