Art Mania summer camp includes exploration of various mediums and techniques and an art exhibition showcasing campers’ work, while Art Clay Masters focuses on sculptural work with clay and exploration of texture and form.

The camp’s mission statement says that Karter Schools makes learning “a blast” with sports, STEM, arts, theater camps, and culinary camps, and that kids engage in STEAM projects and teamwork challenges, from crafting catapults to creating costumes, as they explore new ways to see the world. The program notes a 100% Happiness Guarantee that excludes seasonal programs such as summer camp, spring break, or drop-in care. Karter Schools reports that its educators have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in the subject they are teaching and are full-time Karter Schools instructors.
Karter Schools has received several recognitions, including Winner Best Preschool by Northern Virginia Magazine Readers for seven consecutive years (2019–2025), Winner Best Preschool Mile High (Karter School of Thornton), and notes that it is an accredited school and a winner of Best Preschool. Facility-related features listed include a ZONO Machine medical-grade toy sanitizer, an installed air duct cleaning system air purifier, and an on-site housekeeper and nightly cleaning crew.
Families are asked to send a water bottle with the child’s name each day. On the first day, families are instructed to provide sunscreen or bug spray and a change of clothes. On water play days, the camp asks for a camp T-shirt, swimsuit, water goggles, water shoes, a towel, and a bag for wet clothes, with those items specifically for swim days. Before the first day, families are asked to submit an immunization form and a completed child file (if the child is not currently attending Karter Schools) by email.
Parent testimonials describe past experiences with Karter programs, including a child participating in after-school and summer camps with field trips tied to theater productions, such as visiting a fly zone to “fly” like the Wicked Witch of the West and going to Blue Room Studio to record music, and note that these plays bolstered one child’s confidence and interest in theatre arts. Other testimonials mention positive experiences with drama classes, preschool programs, communication from staff, and safety measures during the pandemic, and include named parents such as Tina P., Abby H., and Alexandra K.
