    Our Camps

    Morning activities concentrate on reading, language and math enrichment, and students are assessed for fall placements during this time. The afternoon features a combination of fun and outdoor play activities.

    Camp Terrapin

    The Legacy School hosts a summer program, Camp Terrapin, for our school community. Current and incoming Legacy students, ages 6-13, enjoy a program that provides a mix of academics and play. We aim to maintain and reinforce skills developed throughout the school year while also providing a fun, summer experience for our students.
