The South Orange-Maplewood Adult School Children’s Summer Program offers more than 100 classes in creative arts, music, science and sports for children entering grades 1-9. Students get to choose their own classes (there are five periods in a day) and the day can be as long or short as they like. The program is located at South Orange Middle School with the exception of off-site sports camps, which are held at various locations in SOMa. For children in grades 1-7, there is on-site early morning drop-off starting at 8am and new this year — on-site after-care until 7pm.
The Program consists primarily of two sessions: Session 1 is June 29-July 10 and Session 2 is July 13-24. For those looking for even more flexibility, there are one-week workshops in arts and science, as well as one-week sports camps. Students can expect to follow their custom-made schedule each day, be instructed by professional, experienced teachers and be assisted by teen counselors, or “yellow shirts.”
