Sun's out, kids out! Our Summer Camp is a proprietary program designed to prepare kids for the future. Using a STEAM-based approach, we specialize in both academics and enrichment, so your kid can catch up, get ahead, and stay ahead in school (and in life). Almost all students return every summer simply because no other local program is comparable to what we offer. We're passionate about STEAM and not just STEM because creative outlets allow kids to develop into more well-rounded individuals ready to take on the world.
Here, you'll find two schedules for the full 9 weeks of Summer Camp:

Lastly, since this is our most popular event of the year, we highly encourage you to secure a spot for your kid(s) as soon as you can. We do have an enrollment cap in place to ensure small class sizes and safety. If you find that your plans change, we can always provide a full refund.
📚 Classes. Many of our classes are taught by PUSD, DUSD, and SRVUSD-affiliated instructors. Detailed syllabi and instructor bios will be provided. There will also be different skill levels for each class, so that kids can find their perfect fit where they feel challenged but not overwhelmed. The following are included at no extra charge:
- Common Core English and/or Math
- Foreign Languages (Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin Chinese)
- 3D Printing & Design and/or Lego Robotics
- Arts & Crafts
