Summer Programs
We offer summer high school classes (grades 9-12) and camps (grades 1-12).
You can register your student one of three ways:
- Online during the registration window
- In-person, at the Innovation Center (please email Socorro Marquez at [email protected] to set up an appointment)
- Over the phone: (303) 702-8200
We typically update our website in mid-February to share what summer opportunities will be available. Registration opens on March 1st for the summer.
- Summer high school classes are only open to SVVSD students.
- Summer camps are open to both SVVSD students an non-SVVSD students.
Because summer programs take place after the end of the school year, the grades listed represent the grade your student will be in for the following school year (24/25 school year). Please register your student for the appropriate camps/classes based on the grade listed.
At this time, bus transportation is not provided to the Innovation Center for our summer programs.
If you signed your student up for a morning and afternoon summer session in the same week and they will be with us all day, they can stay here on site. We’ll provide lunch if they’ll be with us all day.
The Innovation Center provides snacks and a snack break for campers.
Please contact our registrar, Socorro Marquez, at [email protected] with your cancellation and refund request. Please make sure you include your student’s name and name of the camp in your email. Cancellation requests must be made by the deadline in order to receive a refund.
Summer High School Classes
Yes, students will receive 0.5 practical arts credit that will go on a student’s high school transcript and count towards high school graduation requirements upon successfully passing the summer high school class.
Summer high school classes meet 3 hours a day, 4 days a week (Monday-Thursday) for 4 weeks (16 days total).
Due to the fast-paced nature of summer high school classes, please consider taking the class during the normal school year. Missing one day of class during the summer is equivalent to missing a week’s worth of content during the normal school year. Additionally, students may be dropped (without a refund) if they miss more than 3 days of summer class.
