1. Our Mission
The mission of Camp DaVinci, sponsored by Southern NH Montessori Academy, is to
provide a rich and entertaining summer-time learning experience to children ages
5-9 (grades kindergarten through 3) concentrated in the areas of Science, Technology and
the Arts whereby children have the opportunity to explore, experience and expand areas of
intrigue.
Our programs are structured so that you have the option of your child attending morning
sessions, afternoon sessions or full-day sessions.
Morning: 8:30-11:30AM (drop-off 8:15am, pickup 11:30am)
Afternoon: 12:30-3:30PM (drop-off 12:15pm, pickup 3:30pm)
Come to a camp Before and after-care available.

don’t just grow - it blossoms!
At Camp DaVinci, we provide a rich experience that is creative, informative, and
educational without being boring; a program that is looked forward to and not a battle.
Like, Leonardo da Vinci, our programs balance Science, Technology and the Arts. We
look forward to providing your child with a curriculum that develops and strengthens
current interests, as well as plants the seeds for future academic and extracurricular
pursuits. With hands-on involvement in a nurturing environment, we provide a wide
range of encounters where children “do”.
Whether it is a first time camper or a seasoned pro, our trained staff practices
inclusion and shepherds self-discovery, so your child’s experiences will carry on well
past Summer’s end.
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
