The Shanti Kids School summer camp in Hialeah is 10 themed weeks from June to August: science, space, cooking, music, mystery and lots of movement.

When classes end, children keep growing. Our summer camp combines play, movement and new experiences at the same school they already know and where they feel at home.
Every week has a different theme, with morning and afternoon activities, recreational outings and a celebration at the end. Write to us or stop by the office and we will share prices, age groups and available spots.
