Summer
To All New and Returning Families of Geneva Camp for Young Children,
As a Geneva teacher for the last fourteen years and a parent who
enrolled her three children in the extraordinary programs here, it
is my delight to also head our summer camp for those aged two
to six and a half!
On the heels of being named yet again "Best Preschool" by readers
of "Bethesda Magazine" and receiving Maryland Green School
certification, it is an honor for Geneva to extend the traditions of the academic year into the warmest months; summer invites energetic exploration of the out-of-doors and new, sun-filled friendships.
Here, our campers learn about themselves and the larger world. They discover their environment through our innovative playground, invigorating gardens, and inspiring, nearby creek. Sports, water play, cooking, theater, gardening, story time, arts and crafts, and of course, our weekly theme are often shaped by the STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math) approach.
We hope that your children will join us for a meaningful summer that fosters a "lifelong love of learning."
Very truly yours,
Daisy Lizama
Geneva Day School Summer Camp Director and Teacher
