The Camper Campus offers a gentle introduction to school starting at 24 months. It also hosts Pep’In, a twice-weekly program for 18–24-month-olds and their caregivers.
Nestled in the heart of Venice, the space is a secret garden for young learners, providing an intimate setting that encourages hands-on discovery, connection with nature, and joyful collaboration. Children paint beneath the trees, sing and play in the open air, and learn through sensory experiences that invite exploration and creativity. The campus’ garden and atelier spaces reflect the school’s core values: respect for the child, the natural world, and the beauty of artistic expression.
Here, each day unfolds at a child’s rhythm — with time to imagine, build, share, and grow together.

The Camper Campus marks the beginning of the Ecole Claire Fontaine journey — a nurturing first step that leads naturally to the collaborative exploration of the Abbot Kinney Campus and, later, to the creative and academic independence fostered at the Fontaine Campus.
