About our Summer Program
The Open Window School Summer Program welcomes all kids entering kindergarten through 8th grades and offers Leader In Training (L.I.T) opportunities to 8th through 10th graders.
Week-long classes provide engaging experiences designed to encourage creative and critical thinking, experimentation, and discovery.
Get ready for an action-packed summer at Open Window School! Campers entering Kindergarten through eighth grade can join us for 5 weeks of fun on our Bellevue campus in Adventure (formerly Theme) and Innovation (formerly Specialty) Camps from June 30 – August 1, 2025.
Adventure Camp - Designed for campers entering Kindergarten through fourth grade, each week features a new and exciting theme that sparks imagination and fun. Every day kicks off with Shenanigan City, where campers jump into silly games, sing camp songs, and celebrate the camp spirit. From creative crafts to outdoor adventures, every week is a new journey filled with teamwork, laughter, and personal growth. Campers will build confidence, learn essential life skills, and make unforgettable memories. Campers will be in groups with other students entering the same grade.
At Innovation Camp, the adventure is all about choice and discovery. Campers from Kindergarten to eighth grade choose their own path, selecting from 3-hour classes that range from karate and chess to coding and debate. Whether they're mastering new skills or diving into personal interests, campers broaden their horizons and explore the world in exciting, hands-on ways. This camp fosters curiosity, independence, and creative problem-solving, encouraging campers to grow through exploration and challenge.
For students entering 5th to 8th grade, Adventure Explorers is the ultimate off-campus experience! Starting and ending each day on our Bellevue campus, each day brings a new and exciting destination, with field trips around the Seattle area. Adventure Explorers is about more than just fun—it's about stepping outside the ordinary, discovering new places, and creating lifelong memories with friends and counselors. Every field trip is a new opportunity for adventure, learning, and bonding that campers won't soon forget!
In Open Window Schools Summer Programs, campers embark on journeys that challenge them to explore, create, and grow. Whether they're adventuring through themed weeks or tailoring their own learning experience, campers develop essential life skills like grit, self-control, social intelligence, and optimism. Our camps provide a nurturing environment where curiosity is sparked, confidence is built, and lasting friendships are formed. Campers leave each program with new skills, a deeper understanding of themselves, and a readiness to take on the world!

What are the benefits of these programs and why should you choose ours?
Campers in our program embark on journeys that challenge them to explore, create, and grow.

Our camps provide a nurturing environment where curiosity is sparked, confidence is built, and lasting friendships are formed. Campers leave each program with new skills, a deeper understanding of themselves, and a readiness to take on the world!

One of the greatest benefits of our summer program is the ability for campers to socialize and meet new people. During an extended break like summer, kids often find it difficult to form or maintain friendships with peers their own age. It has been found that outside of their siblings or cousins, most kids mainly interact with adults when they are not in school. Not only do campers develop important life skills through socializing – such as sharing, setting boundaries, and problem-solving – they are learning how to develop strong, healthy relationships through interacting with their peers.
Each of our programs incorporates aspects of learning, exploring, character building, and personal growth. You can be certain that your child will not only be entertained, but also educated, and challenged during their time with us. While they are having fun and exploring their own interests, they are also increasing their own capacities for learning, teamwork, problem solving, knowledge, and self-awareness.
Come join us this summer. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
