summer camp registration now open

June & July 2026
Early Partners · 1377 Annunciation Street, New Orleans

summer camp at early partners

Summer at Early Partners is joyful, active, and full of the kind of learning that actually feels like childhood—messy play, outdoor adventures, creative projects, and lots of time with trusted teachers who know how to support kids socially, emotionally, and developmentally.

We offer two summer camp options:

  • Early Partners Summer Program (ages 0–5)
  • EP Nature Camp (rising 1st–3rd graders)

summer program for ages 0-5

Our Summer Program is designed for young children to experience a warm, consistent routine with plenty of play, exploration, and outdoor time—while families get reliable, high-quality care during the summer months.

Important note about availability:
Because we prioritize enrollment for current Early Partners families and incoming families, we have very limited space available to the general public each summer.

If you are hoping for a summer spot in the future, the best way to increase your chances is to apply for August 2026 enrollment. Families who are enrolled for the school year receive first access to summer programming.

Nature Camp (Rising 1st–3rd Graders)

Calling all big kids who love mud, bugs, building, and being outside as much as humanly possible. 🌿

Our Nature Camp is a high-energy, outdoor-focused camp experience for children entering 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade. Campers will spend their days exploring nature, creating hands-on projects, and building confidence through adventure, teamwork, and play.

Led by Ms. Lauren

Nature Camp is led by Ms. Lauren Zander, Early Partners’ Director of Outdoor Education and Founder of our Forest School Program. Ms. Lauren brings deep expertise in outdoor learning and years of experience creating meaningful, child-centered experiences in nature—especially for children with a wide range of strengths and needs.
