Bala House Montessori Summer Camp

Bala House's preschool Montessori summer camp runs for 8 weeks from mid-June through early August. The child-centered program blends Montessori values—love of learning, free choice, independence, and hands-on exploration—with summer recreation. Activities include art, gymnastics, Soccer Shots, sewing, gardening, music, fantasy play, cooking lessons, water play, sprinkler fun, organized sports, and nature walks. The camp welcomes all families in the Lower Merion area, not just current Bala House students. Flexible schedules accommodate working families, with options for half-day, full-day, or partial days. Experienced Bala House teachers guide campers through weekly themes, and visiting special programs such as storytellers, petting zoos, and traveling museums add variety throughout the summer.
