  • Do you offer half-day camps?

    No, we only offer full-week, full-day camps.

    Our camps are for educational purposes, and are designed around educational themes led by school teachers.

    We are not a day care.

  • Do I need to book the whole summer?

    No, you can book 1 week or more depending on your requirements.

    We highly recommend, however, booking at least 4 weeks to ensure our multi-week discount.

  • Do you accept 4 year olds?

    Unfortunately not. This would fall under daycare licensing, which we are not licensed for.

    Our minimum age is 5 years old at the time of attendance.

  • My kid loves art. Do you have any art camps?

    Yes, we many of our camps incorporate a large amount of art. Some are exclusively art camps.

    However, the whole point of our camps is to give your child a different experience of education, one where everything is fun and enjoyable if done the right way.

    As such, we highly encourage you to take your child out of their comfort zone and try some of our other camp options.

  • What are the class sizes

    For the 5-6 and 7-9 camps, the maximum class size is 16 students.

    For the 10-14 and ESL camps, the maximum class size is 10 students.

    Price differences are reflective of these class-size differences.

  • What is your are your policies for ________?

    All of our policies can be found here in the Summer Camp section.

  • Are your camps indoors or outdoors?

    They are both!

    We believe in a healthy balance of indoor and outdoor time.

    Outdoor park time is structured into our schedule every day, rain or shine. We are now including sports time during the park time to further encourage active play.

    For many of the camps, additional outdoor time is built in due to the theme lending itself to outdoor activities.

  • Are field trips included?

    We try to build field trips into our themes whenever possible.

    For the most part, we try to make use of our local attractions as opportunities to take learning out of the classroom.

I just wanted to take a moment to send in some positive feedback to you and the Pear Tree team. My husband and I are very impressed with all the things he has learned so far at Pear Tree. I am a teacher, and I think the Pear Tree summer camp program was a wonderfully educational experience for my son.

We registered our son in every single week of this summer program. Every day, he came back with some amazing things!! I have told a lot of friends about your program! Nothing but praise.

I felt wonderful reading about Pear Tree and the 21st century educational methods of helping students to learn. I’m impressed by your teaching skills and creativity. It’s amazing.

Good job. Hats off to you and your team.

I am very impressed by your program. My son loves going to your camps and has a craving to learn more. I believe he is proud of what he learns with you and feels good about himself. This has not really been his experience at school.

Just want to let you know that my daughter has come home every day completely excited about her experiences at Pear Tree. She is absolutely loving the program! What more can we ask for?

Peggy

It was a great experience for my daughter. Now she is asking me if she can go back to Pear Tree this summer ???? Thanks everyone.

Cristie

My son and daughter had a great time at camp last week. As a parent I was also thrilled with how happy and stimulated they both seemed after. They were proud of their work and I had the sense that the camp allowed them to stretch their creative muscles a little. Please pass on my enthusiastic and positive feedback to your teachers and to Alexis.

Nicki

My daughters have both been raving about Pear Tree’s camps — which is really saying something, believe me — I usually get a lot of “I don’t want to go”s when they’re signed up for camps!
