After a long school year, children can certainly benefit from rest and relaxation. Equally important is maintaining social connections and engaging in enriching activities.
Camps & Programs
The Irvine Public Schools Foundation (IPSF) and the City of Irvine offer affordable and high-quality programs that allow Irvine students to stay connected to others and keep their minds active.
Irvine Public Schools Foundation
With over 400+ classes to choose from, students can dive into passions, explore new interests and gear up for the next school year. Age-appropriate classes are offered for students in all grade levels in different sessions throughout the summer.
- Students in elementary school can take grade-specific prep classes or fun enrichment classes.
- Middle school classes are designed to make it possible for students to receive the intellectual and social engagement that is crucial for middle schoolers.
