Explore new horizons with the SMLI staff as they take you on a fantastic summer journey where the woods, pond, beach, and streams of the Leeds Pond Preserve become our main laboratories!  

Campers are sorted into groups based on their age and grade they'll be entering for the 2025-2026 school year. Please note, although we try to accommodate when possible, SMLI cannot gaurentee placement with friends.
