“Summer School” doesn’t exactly have the same connotation as “summer camp” or “vacation,” especially for kids.

This is why Scholars of Steinbach, a tutoring service for all ages and grades, is making its programs as fun and flexible as possible through the warmer months.

They are pirates, explorers, wranglers and farmers. Sometimes they play under the sea or in a winter wonderland. But they’re also among the more than 500 campers and athletes so far signed up for programming this year at Tamarack Gymnastics. 

As co-founder Amanda Pierson explains, Tamarack has been operating summer camps since 2021, and the 2023 season will run from July 3rd thru the end of August. What’s new this year, and launched by popular demand, is half-day programs and pre-school camps.

Summer in the City kicks off this Friday afternoon, and to be perfectly honest, many people may have trouble focusing on work.  

Audrey Harder is the Board Chair of Summer in the City, and she has a helpful suggestion:  

“Just call it quits early on Friday and head to the patio with your staff and have a party there!” 

Located in front of the SCU Main Stage, the Summer in the City Patio Party is a fully licensed, family-friendly afternoon destination with free admission.
