Summer Exploration

Open Window School presents an annual six-week, Summer Exploration Camp for 4–13 year olds.  In addition to our traditional camp schedule, we offer a Teacher Assistant Program for students entering 8th grade and above. The TA Program is an opportunity for young teens to get exposure to the exciting world of teaching while gaining real work experience as well. We offer a variety of classes geared for fun learning and creative exploration: science, mathematics, drama, sports, arts and crafts, music, etc. Classes will be taught by OWS staff and invited teachers. Theme-based, week long classes will be offered from July 6th-August 13th. Class size is limited to ensure a great camp experience for the children and is open to the public.
