Welcome to Akron Public Schools!

Until your kindergarten registration is processed, your account may not be active for use on the Summer Experiences sign-up page.  Please call our Family Engagement Center if you have not completed Kindergarten Registration at (330) 761-7998.

In the meantime, you can click this link to select your programming choices, and we will help process your selections. 

Your child is only eligible to attend Summer Experiences that appear on the results for their school and grade level. In many cases, programs take place at your child’s school, however, some programs allow for students from other campuses to attend.  Carefully read the dates, times, and locations of the program when you register.  Transportation rules apply. 

These programs are specially designed to accommodate a student’s academic needs.  Your school counselor or principal has registration paperwork and will assign students to the correct program. 

Some Summer Experiences are eligible to specialty school students and should appear in the search results.  However, you may also choose to attend your verified school of residence.  For example, a Miller South 4th Grade student may join the Betty Jane Mystery Camp as the home school. 

Parents should register students at their Fall school site.  If you have questions about which school to register for, please call your current school's Dean of Students.

The newly founded Youth Success Summit (YSS) has curated this list of year-round programs for the Akron Area.  Please note that the camps and programs listed are not affiliated with Akron Public Schools.  If you have questions, please see the Youth Success Summit Website for more information.
