Ruffing’s summer camp, Summer Ruffing It, is in its 28th year of fun, educational, inspiring and creative programs enjoyed by children from throughout the greater Heights community. For six weeks each summer, campers participate in the following program tracks:

  • A Summer to Grow On is open to children from 3 to 6 years old. A typical day offers time for stories, songs, movement activities, food preparation, art projects, sharing lunch together, and occasional guest presentations and performances. Outdoor activities include weekly nature walks, gardening, and playing on our new pre-school playground equipment. Content and specific activities are based on the interest of the child and follow Montessori theory in regard to the child’s developmental needs.
  • Creative Arts & Sciences, for children in grades 1 through 6, offers campers the opportunity to create personalized schedules based on individual interests from a large menu of classes. We offer classes in art, athletics, dance, media, music, science, writing and other skills. Campers enjoy working with anything from clay, pens, paints, cameras, and soccer balls, to running relays, building a parade float, climbing a rock wall, dancing, making puppets, rehearsing skits, playing in a jug band, interviewing, acting, writing a script, looking through microscopes and sending rockets soaring!
  • Extreme, for children in grades 7 through 8, offers exciting on-site and off-site adventures. A variety of indoor and outdoor, on- and off-site activities are designed to build self confidence and teamwork, and to prepare the campers for exciting and rewarding culminating activities. There is plenty of time for everything from exciting challenges to quiet reflection.
