Camp LPC — July & August.
Every summer the whole center shifts outdoors. Toddlers and preschoolers keep the same teachers and ratios with an adventurous, outdoor twist — and our kindergarten-bound kids get a camp all their own.
Your child's same class — just more time outside.
LPC runs year-round, so for enrolled families, summer isn’t a separate camp for our toddlers and preschoolers. It’s the same room, the same teachers, and the same ratios your child already knows — the days simply shift outdoors and fill up with adventure. There’s no separate sign-up: if you’re enrolled, you’re in.
Each summer the classes pick their own names — ask your child’s teachers what they came up with.
A magical time of year that always seems to fly by.
Each summer we build our programming around a shared theme, with past themes including Nature, Literature, and Environments. Teachers design engaging morning invitations on the playground that connect to the theme. Water play is a big part of our summer days, with hoses in the sand area, multiple water tables, and plenty of opportunities to cool off.
After morning snack, children enjoy one of the highlights of the day — pool time! This includes kiddie pools, sprinklers, and a splash pad set up in the large grassy area next to the playground.
Preschoolers and older toddlers also enjoy several visits throughout the summer to the Lexington splash pad. In addition, we offer field trips to destinations such as the Discovery Museum and Launch Trampoline Park.
We also host special in-house events for the entire school, including school-wide concerts, visits from Animal Craze, Rainforest Reptiles, Foamy Bubbles parties, and more memorable summer experiences.
Big Kids Camp
Big Kids Camp (BKC) is designed for LPC children heading to kindergarten in the fall. Created especially for our oldest learners, it gives them a true “big kid” experience while still enjoying the comfort, connection, and familiarity of the LPC environment — and a summer full of fun and adventure!
BKC makes the most of our incredible location, with regular walking field trips to local favorites like the splash pad, farmers market, Parker Pond, Center Playground, and Stop & Shop, where children help choose ingredients for weekly cooking projects.
Once a week, campers hop on the Lexpress and head to Lexington Community Farm. There, they dive into hands-on experiences — planting, harvesting, and helping care for animals like alpacas, goats, and chickens.
It’s a summer full of fun, friendships, and confidence-building moments before the big move to kindergarten.
Year-round, with summer built in.
LPC follows the rhythm of the public-school year, but we don’t close for the summer. Toddler and preschool classes run straight through July and August, with just a single week of teacher in-service before the new school year begins in the fall.
Families choose how much of the year they want: the 12-month program runs all year, or the 10-month option lets you attend September through June, take July and August off (it must be both months), and come back to a reserved spot in the fall. Let the office know by March 15 if you would like to take advantage of the 10-month option. See tuition and enrollment options.
Camp LPC runs July and August. Enrollment is open to current LPC families and new applicants.
