Make your child’s summer engaging, active, and memorable with Arlington Community Education’s SummerFun! program. The catalog is now available for preview. Registration will open Wednesday, February 7 at noon at www.ArlingtonCommunityEd.org. All youth registrations must be made online.
SummerFun! will run for six weeks from July 8–August 16 at Arlington High School for youth in grades 1–12. No two kids are the same, that’s why SummerFun! offers more than 125 fun and creative classes in arts & crafts, cooking, movement, games, dance, music, theater, STEAM, and more. Most classes are led by APS faculty and staff. Families from Arlington and other communities are welcome.
Children can enroll for one week or up to all six. Half-day and full-day programs are available and a supervised lunch/recess period is included at no additional charge for those enrolled in both AM and PM classes. Optional extended day is available in the morning and afternoon.

For grades 8–12, a two-week, full-day theater arts program led by AHS drama director Michael Byrne and Ottoson music & chorus director Cori Smith, will culminate in an evening performance open to the public of James and the Giant Peach, Jr. Several art classes, a one-week college application bootcamp, SAT review, and driver’s ed are also available this summer for high schoolers.
Tuition assistance is available for qualifying Arlington families. Please submit a tuition assistance application by Monday, February 5 in order to register on opening day.
