Elementary Summer Camp & Enrichment Classes
Location: The Dahlia School Elementary at 1245 4th Street, San Francisco
At The Dahlia School Elementary, we strive to extend our community beyond our school walls, providing opportunities for families enrolled and not enrolled at our school, for collaboration, learning, and growth for all through our Summer Camp and Classes programs.
At Wild Palette Explorers, elementary children ages 4.5 to 9 enter a vibrant, joy-filled Montessori community where imagination grows freely and friendships flourish. Hosted at The Dahlia School’s Elementary program, this thoughtfully designed summer experience invites children to expand their creativity, strengthen their independence, and explore the world with confidence.
Our 3.5-week sessions allow campers to settle into stable, mixed-age groups—an essential element of the Montessori approach. Within these consistent communities, trust deepens, leadership emerges, and collaboration thrives. Older and younger children learn alongside one another, building empathy, resilience, and a strong sense of belonging.
Spanish immersion is woven naturally throughout the day. Through songs, storytelling, games, creative projects, and everyday conversation, children experience language as a living, joyful practice that supports both confidence and cultural awareness.
Each session features its own distinct curriculum, ensuring that no two experiences are the same. From artistic exploration and nature-inspired projects to hands-on discovery and collaborative work, every week offers meaningful opportunities for growth and self-expression.
Campers bring their own lunches, and we provide nourishing snacks daily. Groups are led by beloved Dahlia guides or experienced outside educators—depending on school-year availability—all committed to creating a warm, engaging, and enriching summer environment.
If your child is ready for a summer filled with creativity, connection, and discovery, Wild Palette Explorers awaits.
