Join us for the best summer ever! The New School offers summer programming for students from 12 months to 5th grade. Summer camps will be open from June 2, 2025, through July 25, 2025.*

*ALL Summer Camps will be closed on June 19th and July 4th.

List of 3 items.

  • EARLY CHILDHOOD (12 months - PreK)

  • KINDERGARTEN - 5TH GRADE

    As we gear up for another exciting year, we are thrilled to share some important updates about our 2025 Summer Camp program for students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

    To better serve our campers and their families, we are restructuring our Summer Camp program to provide even more enriching and engaging opportunities. Our new program will include expanded themes, a more tailored schedule, and activities designed to meet the diverse interests of our campers. We’re confident these updates will make the 2025 camp a great success. Check out our Elevate Summer 2025 Catalog for more information regarding pricing, camp details, and more!

    We’re also excited to announce that our 2025 Summer Camp will be led by two amazing co-directors, Nicole Stephenson and Juan Manzanares, two of our Lower School teachers. Both bring extensive experience in education and youth programming, as well as a shared passion for creating fun and memorable experiences for children.  

    Registration for Elevate 2025 is now available! Early registration is highly encouraged, as spaces are limited.  

    We are excited about the updates to our program and the opportunities they will bring to our students. Thank you for your continued support and trust in us to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your children.

    If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our camp directors at elevate@thenewschool.org.
  • SUMMER ADVENTURE CAMP (6th - 7th GRADE)

    Nurse Sarah & Coach Rachel want to adventure with middle school students this summer! The idea is to get middle school students off campus to hike, visit local waterfalls, and swim/lounge in creeks. Drop off at TNS by 8:30 am, van leaves promptly at 9:00 am. We would arrive back at TNS by 3:15 pm. Sites to see will be within an hour's drive. Students will bring their own lunch. 

    The camp will be conducted in two separate sessions. The dates are June 9-13 and July 21-25. 

    Important Notes:
    • Final destinations and trip details will be sent to parents 2 weeks prior to camp dates.
    • Students will bring their own lunch (reminder: we are NUT FREE). We will supply extra snacks and water.
    • Please pack sunscreen, bug spray, a refillable water bottle, a hat, hiking and/or water shoes, a swimsuit, and a towel. Girls must wear a full-coverage bathing suit.
