Leelanau Children's Center - Northport - School Age

Our summer elementary program is for children exiting kindergarten through fourth grade. The program takes place at Leland Public School in our very non-school like classrooms – the Cabin and the Cottage.

School age kids explore beautiful Leelanau County with weekly field trips to all the great hot spots and treasures in the area; the Dunes Conservancy and National Park trails the Crystal River local farms and farmer’s markets and villagesjust to name a few. Children use art and a variety of documentation to describe what they notice during their excursions.

Of course there is plenty of play time- at the beach on the playground and in the school. School Age teaching staff is lifeguard-certified and take children to local beaches every afternoon.

Elementary aged children must be enrolled for a minimum of three consecutive weeks three full days per week. The school age ratio is 1 teacher for every 12 children.
