The Lindgren School and Camp

Lindgren gives children a place to be children.

Since 1944, the Lindgren family and teachers have kept their main mission alive: to awaken and cultivate, in every child, his or her imagination, curiosity, confidence, empathy, and joy.

Lindgren Nurtures Intellect and Independence Through Play.

Young children are natural scientists, artists, inventors, and communicators. Our focus is on developing the innate intellectual abilities of each child. Focusing on the process rather than just an end result, we allow children to develop the skills to think on their own. Learning springs from direct experience and interaction with people, places, animals, nature and other objects. Discoveries are a delight and learning is a joy.

Others may just see a barn, a sand pile, a huge rock, a playhouse, or a forsythia hedge. But for our students, their imaginations are nurtured, possibilities are limitless.

From inception, our goal at Lindgren has been clear. Our drive is to cultivate the imagination, as well as inspire exploration, discovery, invention and an appetite for knowledge. Here, children embark on a learning journey that will last their entire lives.

How do we fulfill our goal? We respect the children. We know that within each one lies the ability to explore and the curiosity to do so. Our process is a natural one, based on the value of free play for early childhood development and the necessity of outdoor play in a natural environment. 

At Lindgren, open-ended activities encourage creativity. Exploration leads to discoveries. Learning becomes its own reward, and an adventure that grows, as your child grows, into a lifetime passion.
