Lower School Summer Camp - Grades K-5
For lower school grades, summer camp should be engaging and entertaining, allowing kids to build new skills while making friends and gaining confidence. We get it, and we get kids - kids with extra energy, kids who do better in small groups - all kids are welcome here.In addition to summer-long activities, such as Wacky Wednesdays, and our daily brain-power hour of academic enrichment, each week we offer a different program theme. Join us for a week or two, or even for all seven!

My experience here at TDS was a great one - it was an amazing school and I learned so much. I am now a senior at Gahner High school and getting ready to graduate. Let me tell you, everything I have learned here has helped me and carried me through everything that happened in high school. Thank you so much - you all were great!
