Mazemakers is a small, dynamic learning community of young people entering grades two through eight. In contrast to traditional summer programs, at Mazemakers we emphasize choice, challenges, and community building. Participants choose their own courses and projects, challenging themselves and each other in cooperative problem solving and trust activities. Together, we build a flourishing community of respect, intellectual vitality, and imagination.

 

 

Founded in 1976 by educators envisioning an excellent summer program for their own children, Mazemakers is an innovative, unique learning environment. And today, more than 30 years later, our superb staff is second to none: experienced, enthusiastic, and devoted to creating a supportive and stimulating community of learners.
