From academics to fine arts, sports, and STEM, we try to offer something for everyone ages 3 through grade 12

Ensure your child's summer is as successful and fun-filled as possible

Thank you for your interest in Summer at ESD! From academics to fine arts, sports, and STEM, we try to offer something for everyone ages 3 through grade 12.

Most programs are taught by ESD faculty, but we also bring in programs taught by professionals in their respective fields. Please browse through our site to learn about the opportunities we offer. Our goal is to give you the best possible camp experience, from drop-off to pick-up. We think you'll agree there's no place else like summer at ESD.

Be sure to read the FAQs to learn more about registration, cancelations, late fees, and other frequently asked questions. Our goal is to communicate all necessary information from the very beginning of the process to ensure your child's summer is as successful and fun-filled as possible.

Please register as early as possible to secure your child's space. I am looking forward to seeing happy campers this summer!
