Summer at Meadow View Learning
Hands-on summers, two weeks at a time
Our Summer Learning Program offers calm, structured, hands-on learning experiences designed to build confidence and skills while having some summertime fun. Most programs run as two-week blocks, 10 AM – 2 PM, and students bring a lunch.

Good to know
- Programs run 10 AM – 2 PM, and students bring a lunch.
- Most blocks are two weeks; Lil' Learners Literacy can be taken one week or both.
- Open to Meadow View Learning families and to the broader community — you don't need to be enrolled with us.
- Summer opens wider than our weekday programs: blocks run from age 5 through 16, so younger siblings can come too.
- Summer is hands-on and screen-free through the elementary years — the Design, Build & Code lab is where older students use technology on purpose.
