Create, Grow & learn in our holiday camps!

summer, fall, winter and spring

hands on, joyful, experiential learning, that’s moomin!

Join Moomin International Kindergarten's fun-filled holiday camps! We welcome kids 1-9 for English immersion through our expertly designed Finnish curriculum and hands-on projects in the arts, baking, nature, and more.

Small groups, expert teachers, and global friends make learning an exciting adventure. No English skills required.  

In all of our camps and short term stays, children learn through our inquiry based hands on experiential approach that our regular families choose us for.

Experiential learning is powerful as children actively engage in an activity with their hands, gain a deeper understanding and retain more knowledge.
