Ivybrook Academy Summer Camp - Hidden Gem for Highlands Ranch Families

Learn more about our half-day experience that blends the best parts of learning and play!

April 30, 2025

If your preschooler is bouncing off the walls by mid-June and you're looking for something more than just "childcare with snacks," we've got good news.

Ivybrook Academy – Highlands Ranch is not your average summer camp. It’s an enrichment-based, half-day experience that blends the best parts of learning and play — so your child doesn’t lose their love of discovery just because it’s summer.


Here are 5 reasons why Ivybrook’s summer camp belongs on your calendar this year:

1. Learning + Fun = YES, PLEASE

At Ivybrook, summer isn't just about keeping busy — it’s about keeping curious. With weekly themes like Edible Science and Passport to Fun, kids dive into hands-on projects, art, nature, STEM, and cultural discovery (all while thinking they're just having fun).

2. It’s Built for Preschoolers

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all program. Ivybrook specializes in ages 2 through 6, which means the activities are developmentally appropriate and thoughtfully designed for little learners. Plus, the half-day format keeps kids engaged without overdoing it — perfect for summer routines.

3. Montessori + Reggio Emilia Inspired

You’ll find no cookie-cutter worksheets here. Ivybrook's camp is inspired by the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, encouraging creativity, independence, and small-group exploration. It’s structured, but never rigid. Educational, but never boring.

4. You’ll Actually Want to Stay for Drop-Off

It’s that pretty. The Highlands Ranch campus is bright, clean, and welcoming — with amazing teachers who treat your child like family. Touring the space feels like a deep breath.

5. You Can Still Have Your Summer

Because it’s a half-day camp, you still get lazy afternoons at the pool or impromptu ice cream runs. Ivybrook doesn’t take over your summer — it enhances it.
