Camp
A Summer of Play, Discovery & Connection
Exclusive Early Childhood Focus
While many camps in the region cater to older children, our program is specifically tailored for the 3.5 to 6 age group, ensuring activities and interactions are developmentally appropriate and enriching.
Holistic Development Approach
Our camp emphasizes a balance of child-led play and structured activities, fostering creativity, social skills, and a love for learning in a safe and supportive setting.
Montessori-inspired Play
TPC’s summer camps are fun, flexible, and designed with little ones in mind. Our experienced staff, low child-to-counselor ratios, and thoughtfully curated Montessori-style activities ensure that each child receives personalized attention and care.
