Summer Camp Redefined

The Philadelphia School offers seven weeks of dynamic camps for children in preschool through 8th grade and beyond in a way that redefines the camp experience

Choose from our City Country Day Camps or one of our Enrichment Camps.

The 2024 summer season will offer camps
between June 17th - August 2nd for all grades.

Camp TPS will be closed on June 19th in observance of Juneteenth
and on 
July 4th & 5th in observance of Independence Day.

City Country Day Camps

City Country Day Camp is offered to students currently in preschool through grade 5. Our camp encourages children to broaden their horizons and enjoy the freedom to dabble daringly. Campers will explore Philadelphia, work in the TPS garden, play in our Center City classrooms, and enjoy a community that celebrates and teaches kind, creative, and healthy living.
 

Enrichment Camps

With more than 20 Enrichment Camps to choose from, everyone can discover individualized programming to bring excitement to their summer days! For those who love the wind in their face, our Exploring the City by Bike will be just the thing, while those who are drawn to high endurance sports will find our All Star Sports or Flag Football camps ideal. Our much anticipated Clay & Cooking program will be back, and much, much more!

City Country Day Camp Overview:

In the tradition of progressive education at The Philadelphia School, campers will explore a variety of activities each day. Through two developmentally appropriate programs based on grade level, campers will explore Philadelphia, work in the TPS garden, play in our Center City classrooms, and enjoy a community that celebrates and teaches kind, creative, and healthy living. We encourage curiosity through onsite challenges, build confidence through projects, expand campers’ worldview through storytelling, and empower them with opportunities to thrive throughout the day.

Each day begins at The Philadelphia School, where we gather for the Opening Circle. Campers greet one another, learn about the day to come, share their stories, and play games. After the Opening Circle, campers engage in art and exploration, sports and fitness activities, swimming, gardening, and a special adventure. All of our days end with Closing Circle, leaving campers excited for what’s to come and grateful for the fun they’ve had. 

Enrichment Camp Overview:

Each year, TPS offers a variety of Enrichment Camps allowing campers to delve deeply into a theme, a skill, or a topic. These rich experiences are tailored to a camper’s age group and development. The offerings include a well-rounded selection, built on the best progressive educational principles: choice, constructivism, challenge, relationships, and fun!

Registration closed for summer 2024
