View our Summer Series 2018 brochure.

(Scroll down to see links to full descriptions.)

A maximum number of spaces is available in each classroom and a minimum number of students is needed to run each offering. Titles sometimes sell out and, while it’s rare, can be subject to cancellation. To be certain to get into the course or workshop of your choice—and to help ensure that offering runs—don’t wait! Get your registration in as soon as possible; courses and workshops not meeting minimum registrations will be cancelled one week prior to their starting date. Titles that are nearing—or have reached—capacity will have a note placed alongside their description, with wait lists made available as necessary.

Each summer, we offer a variety of activities to complement your classroom time. Heeding requests to start the week with music, Monday evenings will bring a new activity: Joyful Singing! with Patti Regan. Our Meet and Greets—a chance to mingle with all students and faculty over complimentary coffee, fruit, and cookies—will return during Tuesday morning breaks, while on most Tuesday evenings, students and faculty are welcome to participate in our Faculty Panels, guided discussions on a topic relevant to everyone on campus that week. Wednesday evenings will bring a chance to enjoy Threefold Cafe’s BBQ supper on the Main House Terrace, followed by an evening swim at Threefold Pond. And to round out the week, this summer we’re inaugurating Movie Night on Thursday evenings (accompanied by appropriate movie snacks, of course).

Calendars with these activities, along with other events sponsored by our neighboring Threefold community institutions, are posted weekly around campus.

Read about housing and meals.  As a courtesy to our summer students, Threefold Café will once again be offering a discounted meal plan and gift cards. Read about and purchase meal plan options.

All housing is arranged directly through the Threefold Educational Center. Register for Threefold community housing.

~ This was likely the most impactful educational experience I’ve had as an adult.
~ I chose Sunbridge because I know the quality of the instructors will be high.
~ This is a really special, inspiring, nourishing place.
~ Sunbridge seems to provide current perspectives within Waldorf Education.
~ I have been here many times and each time have left inspired—full of ideas and things to ponder, with a whole lot of practical materials that I know I will use next year.
~ I had never heard of Sunbridge. My wonderful boss came here and loved the experience and recommended it. I would most DEFINITELY return!!!
~ It’s rejuvenating to be part of a very professionally run organization.
~ Thank you, Sunbridge. You are doing an amazing job!
