Summer Enrichment Programs

What is the goal of Summer Enrichment Programs?

1) Open doors to new opportunities: We want all students in the region, whether they participate in Sheff programs or not, to know about the amazing variety of fun and enriching activities available during the summer.
2) Empower students to thrive: For enrolled Sheff students, we offer exciting extracurriculars that let them explore their passions, build friendships, become leaders, give back to their communities, and stay active.
3) Strengthen connections and well-being: We believe engaging in these activities helps Sheff students feel supported, build a sense of community, and grow emotionally and socially.
