theDREAMlab 2026 Summer Agreement
Dear Parents/Guardians- This year, The Pittsburgh Project is very proud to say that we are operating a Makerspace called theDREAMlab for all of our program participants. It is a hands-on learning environment where our students will learn some real life skills like sewing, wood working, and basic circuitry as well as the problem solving and team work skills that go along with those activities.

While the students are in the makerspace they will be supervised by TPP staff and trained on how to safely use the tools and equipment. However, there are risks associated with these types of activities. The students will be introduced to a number of new tools including hammers, screwdrivers, hand saws (no power saws), sewing machines, and hot glue guns. While the students will be supervised, accidents can happen.

Access to the makerspace is a privilege and students who do not conduct themselves in a safe manner will not be permitted to use the space. This determination is at the discretion of the program coordinator. If you have any questions about the makerspace, or would like to come and see it for yourself, please do not hesitate to contact Natasha Thrasher at 412-321-1678 ext.550.

By signing this release, you will grant permission for your child(s) to participate in the Makerspace. Your signature will indicate that you understand the normal risks associated with these activities with your child’s participation, and you agree not to hold liable The Pittsburgh Project staff and our Board of Directors for any harm resulting from these activities for the duration of the summer program.

Cell Phone Policy Agreement
Students in kindergarten through fifth grade may not have cell phones during Pittsburgh Project Summer Camp program hours. There are several reasons for this:
1. Phones distract from camp activities. The camp day has been carefully planned and when students have phones they often become a distraction from those plans.
2. Elementary school students often break and/or lose phones. When students’ phones are lost or damaged it becomes a big camp issue. Often students blame someone else for breaking or taking their phone.
3. There has been an issue in the past because students were accusing each other of taking photos or videos of them without permission.
If parents need to get in touch with students, they can do so by calling the main office number, 412-321-1678. The receptionist will be able to get in touch with either the child’s counselor or the program coordinator, who can have your child return the call quickly.

If TPP staff sees a student with a phone, the phone will be confiscated. On the first offense, students can retrieve their phone from the office at the end of the day. After the first offense, an adult (not siblings in middle or high school) will have to come to TPP to get it back. If a student refuses to give their phone to a staff member when asked for it, a suspension from the program will follow.

This policy has been put into place in order to help students have the best experience possible and we apologize if it causes any inconvenience to your family. Any questions about the policy can be directed to the director of programs, Natasha Thrasher.

Service Plan Agreement

The Elementary and Middle School Summer Camp (grades K-9) nurture and provide our youth with assets through extensive summer camp activities. Teachers and volunteer tutors empower young people to succeed academically through:
§ One-on-one Educational activities

§ Creative outlets for students, including age appropriate field trips, ecology, and sport and recreation

Summer Camp designed to provide an environment where students consistently feel nurtured and cared for. Many of our program participants face significant obstacles to academic success and self–sufficiency. The following is a list of challenges facing many of the young people attending the programs of The Pittsburgh Project:

• Most live at or below 150% of the poverty level
• Most live in a neighborhood where violence and drug use is frequent
• Most students attend poorly performing schools
• Most are reading below grade level
• Most live in single parent households
• Some have parents who are or were incarcerated
• Some are being raised by grandparents
• Some are or were a part of the foster care system

To ensure high quality services and individual attention, we limit class size to a maximum of 10-15 students, with one adult teacher in each class. Teachers provide consistent and caring adult relationships and facilitate the work of volunteers.

Students recieve breakfast and lunch each day. They then follow a schedule of activities to support their school assignments and engage them in new learning activities. Each student receives opportunities to gain computer skills, performing and visual arts skills, and enhanced academics.

From June 15th 2026 to July 31st 2026 there will be approximately 7 weeks of both Elementary School Day Camp, and Middle School Day Camp.
