Camp Details 2023 

Sunflower ELS is a Reggio Emilia Insipred school however during the summer we take a more theme based approach. The reason for this is that most children only attend camp for a week or two at a time and the Reggio Emilia methods we use are based in deep meaningful interests that develop over time. Since we don't have that time during summer to develop those interests we instead focus on creating fun, engaging and memorable experiences for your child.
