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.

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.
