Q: What is the drop-off/pick-up procedure?
A: In the morning, from 8:00-8:15 am, you and your child will arrive at the main entrance (underneath the SSS logo) and follow the signs toward the summer camp on the second floor. On the second floor, the director will ask for you and your child’s name, and direct you to the classroom your child will be staying in. After you have signed in at the director’s table and dropped off your child in their classroom, you are free to leave. In the evening, from 4:45-5:00 pm, you will come in the same way you did in the morning and go to the classroom you dropped them off in. Once you have your child, you will go to the director’s table and sign out. Then you can leave the building. The process is the same across both camps every day. Please let us know if you have multiple children attending or if you are carpooling.

Our History with Summer Camps

Providing local elementary and middle school students the opportunity to get hands-on experience in science, technology, engineering, and math is a key mission of f(x). Our team started hosting summer camps in 2017 and each year our programs have grown. Unfortunately from 2020-2022, we were unable to host live, in-person camps, due to the pandemic and our team’s schedule.

We are so excited to start up this tradition once again! We hope to see you there!
