Last week San Francisco made its way from the purple to red tier, and is predicted to make it to the orange tier in the next month. It’s unclear exactly what this summer will look like in terms of summer camps, but we’ve rounded up a few options to keep on your radar.
Summer Together
As of yesterday, the City of San Francisco announced it would be launching the ‘Summer Together’ Initiative that will offer free programming, in-person and virtual, for public school students across the City this summer. Summer Together will offer free learning opportunities that include:
Academic In-Person Learning. Programming will be hosted at Public School buildings and private commercial spaces, facilitated by DCYF’s Community Hubs and the San Francisco Unified School District’s summer school program.
In-Person Summer Camp. Scholarships will be provided for students to attend summer camp with San Francisco’s Recreation and Parks Department and a variety of community based organizations and private camps.
Educator-Staffed Opportunities. Virtual learning opportunities from public and private organizations will be available, as well as short-duration, in-person support opportunities such as mental health counseling.
Independent learning. All San Francisco Unified School District students will be eligible for ten summer reading books, to be distributed by the San Francisco Public Library.
This initiative is brand new and enrollment will begin in April. To sign-up for updates and the landing page for all things Summer Together, head to their website here. To read the official press release, click here.
