Staffed by our experienced preschool teachers, A Child’s Place offers ten weeks of fun-filled theme-oriented camp sessions to excite our young campers. Entertaining age-appropriate activities for children from 3 to 6 years old (entering first grade) provide opportunities to stimulate curiosity, creativity, and imagination!
COVID-19 Update:
Due to the current circumstances with COVID-19, the University has made the difficult decision to cancel all summer programming this year, which includes all sessions of A Child’s Place Summer Camp.
Please know we made this decision with the well-being of campers, families and staff in mind. We are certainly going to miss all of our campers’ wonderful energy, personalities and smiles on campus this year!
Your little camper may want to join Camp Notre Dame on a virtual adventure this summer! Check out CND’s virtual edition of camp – Camp Notre Dame at Home!
Five two-week sessions of learning and playing ensure that ACP campers enjoy an exciting early learning summer experience. Let’s explore nature on Notre Dame of Maryland University’s park-like campus as we take learning outside!
Join us for days filled with storytelling, music and movement, making art, nature and craft projects, water play and swimming (for 5-6 year olds), daily indoor and outdoor play, STEM activities, cooking, play-based learning, daily exploration and investigation, and more!
