At The Goddard School of Jersey City, we believe summer should be filled with joy, meaningful friendships, exciting adventures, and hands-on experiences that spark imagination and curiosity. Our Summer Camp program offers a dynamic blend of exploration, creativity, and inquiry-based learning—all within a safe and inspiring environment designed to nurture the extraordinary in every child. Through a thoughtfully designed curriculum rooted in the “Wonder of Learning” philosophy, children engage in play-based and child-led activities that foster critical thinking, creativity, and a deep sense of wonder. Each day, your child will participate in enriching lessons and hands-on projects that are fully customizable to meet their developmental needs and unique interests.
Children will enjoy daily outdoor play, including exciting activities like water play. Throughout the summer, they will also take part in engaging visits from special guests who will introduce them to STEAM, literacy, sports, fitness, and the arts. Our curriculum focuses on language and literacy, math, science, technology, art, and social-emotional learning. This summer, children will explore essential questions such as “How might we learn more about how to investigate?” and “How might we learn more about being a good citizen?”
Beyond academics, our summer camp supports social-emotional growth, builds confidence and independence, and encourages healthy habits through physical activity and collaborative play. Children learn essential life skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and communication in a nurturing, engaging environment.
Join us for a summer filled with discovery, creativity, and unforgettable memories. Adventure awaits at The Goddard School of Jersey City! For Registration CLICK HERE.
