STEAM Summer Camp
Our Summer camp
We're excited to announce the release of our 2026 Summer Camp. This year, our summer camp is 9 weeks of STEAM-based summer activities designed to make learning fun. Our aim is for children to enjoy playtime while continuously reinforcing what they have learned throughout the academic year. Through real-life experiences, they will have the opportunity to connect with their environment and gain new insight. We can't wait for our little friends to share their incredible stories, memories, and meaningful experiences by the end of the summer.
​
Our summer camp will serve children aged 5 to 7 years old. It will be a hands-on enrichment program that provides opportunities for growth, friendship, and self-empowerment while observing all safety measures.
​
We have crafted intentional activities that reinforce what children have learned through the school year, and continuously make connections to the environment, the global community, and each other. By the end of summer, we hope our campers will have great stories to share and meaningful memories to cherish.
Our summer will be divided into 2-week sessions, each with a theme (Session 5 is 1-week).
We are looking forward to a safe summer filled with learning and fun for everyone! For program questions, please contact Emily at elebaron@saecc.org or Kemi at oawosika@saecc.org. For enrollment questions, please contact Sadè at admissions@saecc.org.
