Programs·Summer Camp
Summer camp in Winter ParkSame method. Fewer walls.
More time outdoors, longer builds, bigger messes, deeper investigations. The CAPE Method™ does not take the summer off — the walls do. A project that would take a week in term time gets the whole morning, and then the next one.
What a summer week holds
Fewer transitions, longer stretches, and the courtyard as the main classroom.
One build, all week
Monday's question is still standing on Friday — bigger, taped, rebuilt twice. The children decide what to change; the teacher keeps the question honest.
Outside first
Mornings outdoors while it is cool: water, shade, dirt, the oaks. Florida heat is respected — shorter blocks and more water as the day warms.
Investigations that need the time
What happens to a seed over ten days? Which shade cloth actually cools the sandbox? Some questions cannot be answered in an afternoon, so summer takes them on.
The same four steps
Challenge, Analyze, Produce, Evaluate — the cycle every child here already knows, run at summer pace. Nothing new to learn before the fun starts.
The practical part.
Session dates, eligibility and rates are published each spring. Enrolled families are told first; places for new families depend on the room.
Until then, the fastest answer is a phone call: (407) 495-2780.
Programs & ages
Every age, one method. Pick a room.
Come watch them think.
A summer morning here is the fastest way to understand it — come and watch a build in progress.
