Fall Camp is where Clark's junior high community begins to take shape. The fee for Fall Camp 2026 is $135 by August 21, 2026.

Through tent camping, canoeing, family-style food preparation, and hands-on experiences, students build friendships, develop independence, strengthen leadership skills, and lay the foundation for a successful school year. Through four days and three nights students will experience:

Building a strong, supportive Montessori community
Developing positive, trusting relationships with peers and adults
Growing independence by preparing meals, leading activities, and taking on meaningful responsibilities
Exploring the natural world through time spent on the river, plant and wildlife observation, and nighttime astronomy with the Cincinnati Observatory
