Toddler Mini Camp

Alta Vista’s special toddler-sized mini camp is for children 16 months to 3 years who are currently enrolled in Alta Vista’s All Year Montessori infant/toddler program.
Mini campers continue to follow their familiar daily routine that started during the school year with teachers they already know and trust. In addition to their Montessori lessons they enjoy special arts and crafts and outdoor activities. Summer Mini Camp is a time to play with friends and enjoy the outdoors! They treasure playground play, water play, taking buggy rides, caring for their garden and picking flowers, vegetables and herbs.
