2024 Summer Youth Programs

Join us this summer for fun activities and enrichment along the way! Engage your teen in social, recreational, and skill development resources at Summit Future Foundation. We provide comprehensive opportunities throughout the summer, June 3 - August 16, 2024.

To enroll your child, please fill out the program registration form and indicate dates you would like your child to participate.

Single Day Enrollment Available! This allows our families the flexibility to select days over the summer for their child to participate in supported and structured social opportunities.

Registration is open March 25 - May 17, 2024.

In celebration of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, our theme for summer programs at Summit Social Center is the Olympics as well. The Olympic games are a place where everyone has a space to be proud of who they are and where they come from. It is a place where everyone is included and where people also HAVE FUN!

This is our goal here at Summit Future Foundation, where we want to foster a place we can all be proud of ourselves, include everyone, and have as much fun as possible in the summer of 2024.
