Summer Camp – Chesapeake Montessori School

CMS is proud to announce a partnership with Earth Hands, LLC. for Summer Camp 2021. Earth Hands is a project that CMS employee Brad Dawson has been working to establish for several years to bridge his love of the outdoors and desire to teach practical life skills, outdoor education, and sustainable practices to children and families.

Our camp is a place where children can be themselves; where they are respected, valued, and allowed the freedom to explore and grow. Set on seven lush acres, our camp gives children a priceless opportunity to connect with nature on hiking trails, in outdoor classrooms, and under our famous magnolia climbing tree.

Our summer camp themes were selected to focus on areas not commonly seen in traditional camps. At CMS Summer Camp your children have an opportunity to learn something unique and gain life experiences connecting with nature.
