SOMAS is proud to announce that the ever-popular Children’s Summer Program is back! The schedule is jam-packed with loads of fun activities – from Cartooning to Camp Shakespeare, there’s something for everyone!
There’s a wide variety of courses to choose from in the worlds of creative arts, music, science and sports. This program is unique in that it offers a flexible schedule where students get to choose their own classes (there are five periods a day) and make the day as long or short as they like. Classes are taught by many local district teachers and talented community members, assisted by the ever-popular Yellow Shirt counselors.
