Welcome to Frankford Friends School’s Summer Program!

Whether your child is making meaningful friendships, learning how to work as part of a team, gaining independence, or developing the confidence to try new things, one thing is for certain:

Frankford Friends offers a summer that your child won’t soon forget.

Get ready for a summer packed with fun and exploration. Each session will have a specific focus. Students also enjoy choice time in the art, ceramics, and music studios, the gym, the makerspace, and the LEGO Lab, combining in a magical session of summer fun.

Filled with innovation, exploration, and endless fun, our program for children entering PreKindergarten to entering 3rd grade, combines the best elements of a day camp with the safety, nurturing environment, and exceptional teaching Frankford Friends is known for. Children will be placed in age-appropriate groups to ensure maximum fun and student safety.

In addition to focused exploration sessions, we'll hang out in the gym, create art and ceramics, play entertaining community games, and still have plenty of time for free play and socialization.

And what's a summer without water? Relax in the 'Mist'ical Forest, a specially designed water area in our half-acre, stormwater-designed, outdoor green space, where everyone can cool off and have a blast!

Come join the excitement!
