SummerFun! will run for six weeks from July 5–August 11 at Ottoson Middle School for youth in grades 1–9+. No two kids are the same, that’s why SummerFun! offers more than 100 fun and creative classes in arts & crafts, cooking, movement, games, dance, music, theater, STEM, and more. Families from Arlington and other communities are welcome.
Families can choose individual classes in the mornings (9:00–12:00), afternoons (12:30–3:30), or combine both for a full day. A supervised lunch/recess period is included at no additional charge for students enrolled in a full day. Optional extended day runs in the mornings (8:00–9:00 M–F) and/or afternoons (3:30–5:30 M–Th).
