Social responsibility is always cultivated at Summit School and summertime is no different. Our Make A Difference campers increased their awareness of the needs in our community and inspired each of them to make a difference through volunteering while having fun. #inspiring
What do all of our inspiring camps have in common? GREAT LEADERS! Our camp leaders enjoy and respect children, and they know that summer is a time for play and our camps are an excellent place for purposeful play and learning. #summitsummer#summitschoolws#joyinthejourney
