Summer is almost here, and with it comes exciting days filled with friendships, adventures, and new experiences. At Apple Montessori Schools, we believe a great summer starts with something just as important as fun: safety.

As families prepare for camp season, we're hosting three free Water Safety Parent Workshops led by Lou Waibel, Apple's Senior Aquatics Director. These events are designed to help parents feel informed and confident while giving children the opportunity to enjoy all that summer has to offer safely.

Preparing for Summer Starts Before Camp Begins

Whether your child is an experienced swimmer or heading to camp for the first time, developing safe habits around water is an important part of a successful summer. During these workshops, families will learn practical tips for keeping children safe while swimming at camp, at home, and in community pools.

Parents will also have the opportunity to hear directly from Lou Waibel, whose experience and leadership help guide Apple's aquatics programming and support safe, positive experiences for campers throughout the summer.

At Apple, we know that peace of mind matters. That's why safety is woven into every aspect of our Summer Camp program—from trained staff and thoughtful supervision to age-appropriate activities and aquatic experiences designed with children in mind.

More Than Just a Summer Camp

Apple Summer Camp offers children a balanced blend of fun, friendship, and discovery. Throughout the day, campers enjoy a variety of engaging experiences, including:

  • Sports and active outdoor play
  • Creative arts and crafts
  • STEM experiences, coding, and technology activities
  • Cooking projects
  • Special events and themed activities
  • Swimming and water activities
  • Time to connect with friends and build confidence

Many Apple locations feature on-site saltwater pools, allowing campers to enjoy swimming as part of their regular camp experience. Other campuses offer off-site swim opportunities or water play experiences. Because amenities vary by location, families are encouraged to check with their school for specific offerings.

Families also appreciate our flexible scheduling options and the ability to choose the weeks that best fit their summer plans.

Most importantly, children spend their days with caring, experienced educators who understand how to help campers feel comfortable, engaged, and ready to make the most of summer.
