Summer at Meadow View

Hands-on summers, two weeks at a time

Our Summer Learning Program offers calm, structured, hands-on learning experiences designed to build confidence and skills while having some summertime fun. Most programs run as two-week blocks, 10 AM – 2 PM, and students bring a lunch.

Good to know

  • Programs run 10 AM – 2 PM, and students bring a lunch.
  • Most blocks are two weeks; Lil' Learners Literacy can be taken one week or both.
  • Open to Meadow View families and to the broader community — you don't need to be enrolled with us.
  • Summer opens wider than our weekday programs: blocks run from age 5 through 16, so younger siblings can come too.
  • Summer is hands-on and screen-free through the elementary years — the Design, Build & Code lab is where older students use technology on purpose.

What we run most summers

Blocks change from year to year, but these are the shapes they take.
