Enjoy Summer - the Waldorf way!

We take great pride in our summer camps. Children of all ages (18 months+) slow down and step back from the busyness of the school year. Da Vinci Waldorf School is a safe landing spot. Summer days are spent among the butterflies and blossoms, trying something new, being a part of a community, unplugging. We are here for all of it!
