Academic, Artistic, Athletic, or just plain fun!

Something for everyone!

Kick it up this summer with great opportunities for boys and girls Pre-K through grade 12!

Letter from the Director At CSG Summer Programs, we know that summer is an important time for each child to develop new interests, reinforce learning habits, and explore a range of personal opportunities.

Our programs are centered on academic enrichment and experiential learning that is rooted in STEM/STEAM principles with a student-centered focus in a fun summer environment. CSG Summer Programs have been developed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence in each child, whether in the classroom, the pool, the playing field, or in the many venues of the city. We honor diversity as a central focus of learning and welcome all children, boys and girls, ages 3-18 from around the Columbus neighborhood and beyond.

This year we are really excited for: • Eight new morning themes for the Explore! Program and grades 1-3!

• 50% of the morning classes for grades 4-8 are new!

• New Ceramics and Sculpture Credit Classes!

• Two new college prep workshops for High School students!

• Swim lessons for 3 year olds!

• Sports camps revamped – new age groups and co-ed!

• New Zoom! Program adventures!

Warm Regards,

Rachel Barends, Director of CSG Summer Programs

Whether your children are artists, actors, scientists, writers, athletes, or anything in between, we welcome them to explore their many talents and interests with us!

Our goal is to provide a comprehensive co-educational experience for children from Pre-K through Grade 12, in which children have opportunities to explore many of their educational and extracurricular interests.

We have added new and exciting academic enrichment classes that provide opportunities for your child in areas where they may need extra support, and sports camps to develop and perfect their athletic abilities.

Several credit courses are offered for students in grades 9-12, including art, public speaking, civics, health, and physical education classes. Come enjoy summer’s casual atmosphere in CSG’s state-of-the-art facilities.

Our Summer Programs are designed to help students develop new interests and friendships in a fun, stimulating, learning-centered environment blended with challenges and adventures that offer unique, confidence-building educational experiences. We look forward to having you join us on our summer adventures!
