2023 Summit School District Partnership 

_____________

Keystone Science School and Summit School District Partnership


Summer 2023 at Keystone Science School was a resounding success as we once again collaborated with the Summit School District (SSD) to host ten weeks of Summit Day Camp for elementary students and eight weeks of Pathfinders Day Camp for middle schoolers. Our mission, in partnership with SSD, was clear: to offer a reliable and affordable childcare solution for hardworking parents in the county.

To ensure inclusivity, we implemented a sliding fee scale, allowing all families to participate. Over 40% of families benefited from significantly reduced fees, thanks to qualifications including Free and Reduced Lunch or Child Health Plan+. This commitment to accessibility underscores our dedication to making the camp experience available to as many children as possible.

This partnership helps provide affordable childcare to our local families and take some stress out of working through the summer season, as one parent said “KSS is an awesome program that had gave me piece of mind knowing that my son is experiencing a great time in the outdoors, learning and making new friends … while I’m working.”

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredibly generous donors and dedicated community partners for their unwavering support. Without your assistance, making this program a reality would not have been possible!
