Welcome to the 2021 Spring/Summer Activities Guide! This school year was unlike any other. COVID-19 threw us some curveballs, but our teachers, students, parents, and staff knocked them out of the park. Together, we stepped up to the challenge like never before, and in just a few short weeks, we will be celebrating the success of our graduating Class of 2021. While welcoming the joys of summer, many families also may be looking for activities and learning opportunities to keep their children busy. As a parent or guardian, sometimes it can be a daunting and time-consuming task to research the various programs and resources available in our area. That is where the CCPS Spring/Summer Activities Guide comes in to help! Enclosed you will find information on summer camps, tutoring, sports programs, music and art classes, and so much more … all in one place! The guide was developed in partnership with Neapolitan Family Publishing and is distributed to students across the district. The listings included in the guide are offered free of charge to our local businesses and organizations. As you begin to prepare your summer plans, we hope you will take advantage of all the CCPS Activities Guide has to offer. Enjoy! Kamela Patton, Ph.D. Superintendent
