Featured Camp of the Week: The Gardner School of Arts and Sciences

From our friends at The Gardner School:

We’re excited to welcome children to our beautiful 5 acre campus to learn, laugh, explore, and enjoy their summer with friends and teachers. The Gardner School campus sits on five beautiful acres of land in rural Clark County, easily accessible from I-5 and I-205. Our summer camp program offers a variety of experiences for children that emphasize both play and learning in a fun, caring environment.

Founded in 1995, the Gardner School is southwest Washington’s only independent, private progressive student-centered learning environment, serving students from preschool through 6th grade. Inspired by the theory of multiple intelligences — identified by Harvard professor Howard Gardner — our community of teachers and learners recognizes and honors many ways of learning, thinking and expressing. Our whole-child philosophy integrates homeroom studies in mathematics, language arts, social studies and outdoor learning with specialist teachers in five disciplines: science, music, art, Spanish and physical education. Preschoolers enjoy music, physical education and Spanish classes. Our small class sizes promote individualized instruction while our beautiful campus allows teachers to use all facets of the environment to stimulate learning. At Gardner, we believe in creating not only avid learners, but inspired and engaged global citizens.
