Summer Programs
Join us for summer in San Francisco. From our cozy classrooms to the Pacific Ocean, from grassy parks to the eucalyptus groves of the Presidio, the city and its natural beauty are the backdrop for a summer full of imagination, crafting, and play.
Summer Camp for Preschoolers (open to current SFWS families)
For children currently enrolled in the SFWS Preschool during the 2025-2026 school year, our Summer Camp for Preschoolers continues the rhythm of the school year. For three weeks, our campers join together for imaginative play, time outdoors, and practical and artistic activities such as bread-making, soup-making, painting, and handcrafts. The summer season and its festivals color the mood of this program and form the basis for our songs and activities. Enjoying the mild summer weather and our school’s enviable location, we spend our mornings in the forests of the Presidio and conclude each week with a Beach Day at Crissy Field.
Children must be current SFWS Preschoolers to attend our Preschool summer camp.
Summer Camp for Kindergarteners
Explorers of land and sea, our Kindergarten campers spend most of the day outdoors: hiking, playing, and exploring San Francisco’s uncommon mix of wild natural beauty and urban culture. Daily excursions range from nearby Alta Plaza Park to the forests of the Presidio to the beach at Crissy Field, though we also spend time on our beautiful Pacific Heights campus, crafting and listening to stories.
Children should have at least one year of Kindergarten or Transitional Kindergarten experience before enrolling in camp. Priority enrollment is given to current SFWS families.
Summer Camp for Grades 1-4
For students in First to Fourth Grade, our summer camp is led by experienced Waldorf teachers. Every week a new theme is based on practical or nature activities: recent examples include Garden to Table, SF Urban Outdoors, Papermaking, Painting Explorations, and Sculpting Explorations. We spend the afternoons outdoors, enjoying free time and imaginative play on campus or at beautiful Alta Plaza Park nearby. A closing circle rounds out the day.
Children must be at least 7 to attend our Grade School camp and must have completed at least one year in a grade school setting. For younger children, please consider our Kindergarten Camp.
