Summer Camps at Summit will be virtual

UPDATE 6/1/20: Summit will offer ALL virtual camps this summer.

Summit Schools has made the decision to keep ALL summer camps virtual this summer to best ensure the safety of students and staff. We regret we cannot host in-person camps on our Summit campus this summer, and will transfer existing registrations to any of our virtual camps, tutoring program, or issue a full refund. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this pandemic.
