While using the general philosophy of Maria Montessori as a guide, the summer camp instructor will be responsible for all day-to-day supervision and management of (6) campers, and create and implement camp activities. The children will be spending a vast majority of time outside, learning about their environment and nature, while continuing to honour the foundations of Montessori education. The camp format will continue to focus on teaching real-life skills, promoting independence, and encouraging the children to follow their interests and passions.

We’re looking to be different, innovative, and truly unique. This is based on advanced psychology and neuroscience that will be applied in the children’s environment. We believe in the continuous flow of communication between teacher, child, and parents. We believe that everyone needs to continuously evolve in their learning, understanding, and their development.
