Summer STEAM Camp

Summer STEAM Camp provides enrichment programming for students currently attending grades K-8 at William O. Schaefer Elementary School, Cottage Lane Elementary School and South Orangetown Middle School. The annual, two-week, half-day summer program is led by school district faculty who develop exciting, hands-on projects in a variety of subject areas to engage campers in a fun, exploration-oriented environment.

  • Open to current South Orangetown public school students (grades K-8)
  • Programs are led by SOCSD teachers
  • No cost for families to participate

At Summer STEAM Camp, students dive deeper into science, technology, engineering art and math topics that they would not typically cover during the school year through high-interest, hands-on projects.

Students currently in grades K-5 will have three one-hour classes on three different topics each day. They will take the same topics for the first week. In week two, they will switch classes and have 3 new classes each day. Students currently in grades 6-8 will have two 90-minute classes each day for the first week, then take two different classes the following week. All of these classes will range from art to physics to engineering to robotics.

Camper Registration & Selection
As in the past, we will be filling spots through a lottery system should we get more applicants than spaces we can fill. Therefore, before you apply, PLEASE make sure that your child(ren) can commit to ALL eight (8) days of camp.

The application will be posted in your Powerschool account under “Forms” (see below) for each eligible student on Tuesday, January 28. Applications close on Friday, February 14. You will be notified about application status by Friday, February 28.
