Summer Camps

Summer at Austin Waldorf School

Camp Roadrunner and Summer Garden have welcomed children from Austin Waldorf School families and families from the greater community, with a summer of safe and wholesome fun. We offer unique activities that create lasting memories for the children in our program.

Built upon the Waldorf understanding of the developing child, our Summer Garden program welcomes children ages three to five with a nurturing environment, allowing their imaginations to unfold. Our camp is led by experienced teachers who are enthusiastic for all the fun that summer may bring. Our natural hill country setting is the ideal place for children to experience a Texas summer and the majority of our day is spent outside on a well-shaded playground. Activities include swimming, crafts, circle games, cooking, and story time. Within the rhythm of our day, time for snack, lunch, and nap is also included.

Camp Roadrunner has been consistently recognized by as an outstanding camp designed for grade school aged children. Activities vary each week and may include circus arts, obstacle courses, cooking, hand crafts, and more. Camp Roadrunner is a wonderful opportunity for children from all backgrounds and each week encourages self-expression and creativity in a friendly and fun environment.

This summer we also offer a series of Athletics camp options for rising Middle School and High School students. Our Athletics camps are are short, intensive sports programs designed to help young athletes develop their skills using proper techniques. Offensive and defensive position drills along with proper stretching and warm-ups occur each day along with fun competitions—all under the watchful supervision of our caring and attentive staff who ensure your athlete’s health and safety.

Our Enrichment camps offer creative and academic experiences for children of all skill levels with interests in performing and visual arts, creative writing, mathematics, and experiential activities. Our new Discovering Austin weeks invite campers to spend the week exploring unique and fun things Austin has to offer — museums, local swimming holes, the Texas Hill Country, and more. Our camps offer small groups, professional teachers, and a combination of instruction and fun activities.

“I especially love the activities like gardening and handwork. I believe these skills are important in cognitive development. Many schools today are mandated to focus on academic achievement and testing while forgetting the building blocks of learning to think for ourselves and to be creative. ”
