/Discover a world of endless opportunities for your child with Lakefield College School's Summer Academy & Programs! From outdoor adventures to academic enrichment, LCS offers an exciting range of summer programs and credit courses to ensure your child has a summer they will never forget.
“This is our third summer operating these programs,” says LCS Summer Academy director Mary-Anne Reid. “All of our programs are designed to take advantage of the various elements that we have on campus, and we try to focus on creating opportunities through these experiences to help students grow, transform and develop.”
She says the programs that LCS has range from 5 days to 4 weeks long, with day and over-night options available for many of them.
“One of the things that really makes our summer academy so unique is the combination of our experience from the years of teaching and education,” Reid continues. “We have three different programs within the seed to table category alone.”
Here are some recent Summer Program testimonials from parents:
“My daughter had an amazing time at LCS! She thoroughly enjoyed the program and teachers and is hoping to return to LCS again next year. Thank you for opening your doors in the summer and allowing children from the community to experience LCS.”
“Thank you LCS for sharing this one-of-a-kind program with our boy. He loved every piece of it. Though sailing came on top for him, the overall picturesque beauty of the campus and friendly staff drew him in and left a long lasting impression on him. LCS is truly like no other.”
“I feel LCS has solid programs that we are over the moon happy with. The location is a sanctuary that has an amazing amount of amenities, total good vibe and a solid academic/sport/nature program!”
