No Camp July 4 – 8
The New School strives to provide a safe environment for our entire community. At no time is that focus more relevant than it is right now. The safety and health of our students, faculty, staff, and families will lead how, when, and where we operate. So what does that mean for you and your child?
Summer Camp will open on June 13th, 2022. Staffers and administrators will be operating according to our health and safety plan developed in accordance with the Johns Hopkins University, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and the CDC’s guidance for Youth and Summer Camps. It will be revisited and revised before camp starts as additional information and guidance become available. Using this modified hierarchy of controls, COVID-19 mitigation measures at the New School will look like:
- Check-in
Upon entry, campers will be led to our handwashing stations to wash hands. - Physical Distancing
We have visual reminders for students to remember physical distancing. We limit communal use, allow for physical distancing, and accommodate frequent surface cleaning. - PPE
All students (age two and up) and staff are required to wear masks. - Outdoor Activity
In line with our established pedagogy, we will prioritize outdoor programming to afford the lowest risk of transmission. - Engineering Controls
High-touch surfaces such as door handles, light switches, and faucets will be cleaned and disinfected frequently. Additionally, tabletops will be disinfected between classroom rotations. Handwashing breaks and extra hand sanitizer will be available at all times. - Administrative Controls
We are capping classrooms to reduce contact between groups of students and staff as well as students and students. Wherever possible, we will be staggering staff and administrative hours and workspaces to minimize contacts between classrooms. - Any suspected COVID-19 cases will be immediately isolated, and all families will be notified of possible exposure.
In such a case, we will seek additional guidance from local health officials to determine the course of action.
Our traditional summer enrollments will allow us to accommodate physical distancing requirements. We can provide an incredible, developmentally appropriate space for your child to engage socially in a safe way.
For children ages 0 - 17 months

Summer is a great time for children to explore the world around them, experience the joy of self-discovery and enjoy a variety of age-appropriate activities geared for their individual needs and interests. Your child will experience our outdoor environment and all it has to offer!
We combine the best of Montessori—love of learning, free choice, independence, mutual respect, and hands on learning—with the charms that only the summer can afford—plenty of sprinkler and water fun, outdoor games, nature walks, gardening, fantasy play, arts and crafts, cooking and science experiments. Your child will develop real life skills through play, improve motor, language, and socialization skills, and continue their personal path of growth.
Our summer camp starts on Monday, June 13 and ends on Friday, August 26, 2022. Consistency is important to the social, emotional and cognitive development of babies and young children. Therefore we ask Toddler students to attend a minimum of 2 weeks to ensure an adequate adjustment period.
