Summer Camp
Summer camp runs through the summer for children 2 to 5 years old. Each week has a theme, and children spend a lot more of the day outside: water play, garden time, games and walks.
Campers are grouped by age with their own teachers, so a two-year-old and a five-year-old each get a day that suits them. Camp is open to Ashford families and to families who only need care for the summer.
