WELCOME
to Wellington Summer Options
Create lasting memories while learning new skills, developing emerging interests, and having fun. Wellington Summer Options provides a relaxed atmosphere
with caring, creative teachers who provide the perfect environment for exploration. Choose from full-day and half-day options. You can come for one week, one
class, or the entire summer. Create the schedule that best suits your family. We will be happy to help you develop a dynamic schedule for your child.
We have many new classes this year. Preschool to 3rd grade students will have the opportunity to begin learning about and using technology! Lots of cooking
classes are available for the chefs among us and new LEGO camps are offered for your designers and engineers. You will also find a wide array of new art and
fine crafts classes. Even a 3-year old program is part of the fun at the end of the summer to help with transitioning these little ones for school in the fall.
Popular classes are returning this summer. Two sessions of Horseback Riding will extend the experience beyond developing riding and horse care skills. Stage
Combat, Aerial Arts, and Tennis are more favorites you’ll see again. It’s all part of the Wellington summer experience! We’re sure you’ll find programs that will
instill curiosity, fun, and the love of learning in your children.
Here are some examples of how to schedule one week programs:
