Camp for 6 yo in Arlington - art, writing, imaginative play, etc.

[Anonymous]

We live overseas and are going to be staying in Clarendon for several months. I'm looking for a good camp for my 6 yo (and potentially 2 year old).

I'm thinking camp would be a great idea for my 6 year old - to acclimate to peers in the US, to have fun, and frankly to give me a break (I'm heavily pregnant and working remotely about 25%). It looks like most of the summer camps sponsored by the county are full... but there are a bunch of generic-looking summer camps (namely, the "Summer Fest" ones and "Summer Expedition" and "Camp Horizon" camps).

Does anyone know about these? Or have other ideas of camps in Arlington (or other fun stuff)? It would be great to find a place that has art or nature-themed camps. I'd rather my 6-yo be in a place that goes multiple weeks at a time so he can get to know other kids.

(cross-posting this- didn't realize there was a camp forum!)

The Waldorf one looks right up my alley- would love some hippy, crunchy stuff that we don't get overseas where we are.

Lola's Laboratory is great for K - 4th graders. They do lots of great art projects and it is a lot of fun. They are having camp the last two weeks of August this year!

Rec has art classes but not sure how good they are.
