☀️ Beyond the School Year

Summer Camps at
The Ross Preschool

When the school year ends, the adventure continues. Our summer camps bring together the same warmth, creativity, and intentional learning that define TRP - in a fun, flexible format perfect for the summer months. Camps are 100% outdoors with an incredible mix of activities: arts and crafts, STEM projects, read-alouds, dramatic play, water play, and plenty of unstructured time to explore, build friendships, and just be a kid.

The Most Magical Summer Starts Here ✨

Ready to give your child an unforgettable summer? TRP summer camp is where imagination runs wild and every day is a new adventure. One moment your child might be a swashbuckling pirate, the next an Olympic athlete, a cowboy, an astronaut, a scientist, or an artist - the possibilities are endless.

We believe summer should be filled with joy, discovery, and growth. Through play-based experiences, children build confidence, develop friendships, strengthen problem-solving skills, and learn how to collaborate - all while having an incredible time.

Our caring and experienced staff create a safe, supportive environment where every child feels inspired to explore, try new things, and shine. From creative arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and imaginative play, there's something for every kind of kid - ensuring each day is exciting, engaging, and full of laughter.

The TRP Difference

Built for Childhood, Not Just Coverage

Camp at The Ross Preschool isn't just a way to fill the summer - it's an experience kids genuinely look forward to and talk about for months after. We bring the same intentionality, warmth, and child-centered approach that defines our school year into every single camp week.

Children spend the majority of their time outside in our incredible outdoor classroom - exploring, creating, getting wonderfully messy, and building the kind of friendships that only happen when kids have real space and real time to just be kids.

Our teachers know children. They know how to spark curiosity, manage the beautiful chaos of excited preschoolers, and make every child feel seen and celebrated. That's what sets TRP camp apart.

Camp counselors and kids at The Ross Preschool summer camp

Our Team

Teachers, Counselors & CITs - a Crew That Loves Kids

Camp is led by TRP's own fabulous teaching team, supported by camp counselors and counselors-in-training (CITs). It's a multigenerational crew that genuinely loves kids and knows exactly how to make a summer day feel like the best one yet.

Our ratios stay low by design. We want every child to feel known, cared for, and genuinely celebrated - not just supervised. The CIT program also gives older kids a chance to give back and grow as young leaders.

Whether your child is a TRP alumnus or joining us for the very first time, they'll feel at home within about ten minutes. That's just how camp works here.
