ummertime is the perfect time to help stretch a child’s imagination, intellect and body. Summer Explorations, The Elisabeth Morrow School’s camp program for three-year-olds through ninth grade students, provides a blend of academic, arts and special interest

classes designed to encourage children to learn new things, build their creativity and enhance academic skills.

Experienced teachers from The Elisabeth Morrow School as well as other local schools are the faculty for the Summer Explorations program. Many of our faculty members return to the program year after year, and many of our counselors — college and high school students who work closely with our faculty — are Elisabeth Morrow alumni as well as former campers.

GRADE 7 THROUGH GRADE 9 PROGRAM

New i2 Camp Programs

The program at i2 Camp has been developed to engage middle school children in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Partnering with some of the world’s leading STEM organizations, such as MIT, American Museum of Natural History and Boston's Museum of Science, i2's program broadens a child’s exposure to STEM with a wide variety of fun, innovative courses not seen in traditional middle school education. With immersive, hands-on activities, i2 courses strive to excite and inspire campers about STEM, creating enthusiasm that will hopefully spill over to their schoolwork and school choices in future years.

All i2 camp courses are full-day experiences and run from 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Students will have a break in the morning and at lunch.

Week 1: June 22–26
