We support approximately 3,000 4K-12 students in our Summer School Program, which provides our youngest learners (4K) with an introduction to what school will be like in kindergarten and our oldest students (9-12) with credit-earning classes. Students have the opportunity to strengthen their skills in math, reading, physical education, art, music, tech ed, and many other areas through a wide variety of enrichment classes aligning with core content area standards. Middle and high school students can also participate in a robust strength and conditioning physical education program. During the program, teachers are encouraged to use the outdoors as much as possible for their "learning laboratories." Most of our Summer School staff are teachers and support staff who work with students during the regular school year.
Beyond our five-week Summer School program, students can take music, agriculture, and theatre classes throughout July and August. Other learning opportunities include a middle and high school orientation and the Sound of Sun Prairie. The Sound of Sun Prairie, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary, is an extracurricular marching band composed of dozens of students in grades 8-12.
Music Program information (including lessons, band/orchestra camps, and Sound of Sun Prairie) will be shared with families through music educators. Families please watch for information from your child's music educator.
Strength and Conditioning and Agriculture classes start on June 16, 2025. More information will be shared on this site and directly via email messages. Please watch this site, emails, and newsletters for more information on these programs.
PK-5 Summer School After School Programs - In partnership with Sun Prairie Parks, Recreation and Forestry, this camp provides wrap-around care during summer school weeks and full-day programming when school is out. Campers will enjoy projects, games, swimming, field trips, and activities that encourage friendship, outdoor fun, and continued learning all summer long.
