The PEF Summer Enrichment Program provides K-12 students exceptional learning opportunities combined with summer fun with more than 80 unique classes on 4 campuses serving 1,200 students.

The summer program, in its 20th year, offers hands-on exploration opportunities to perform, explore, create, and strategize for students entering grades K-12. Students choose from 80 exceptional classes held on multiple Pasadena-area campuses. More than 100 Youth Leaders, from local high schools and colleges, volunteer to mentor students and support teachers and staff while gaining valuable work-related experience.

Note: Due to scheduled construction and cleaning maintenance, we won’t be at San Rafael or McKinley this summer. For Spanish DLIP classes, please see our offerings at Jackson. Middle school classes can be found at Norma Coombs and Eliot.

PEF’s Afternoon Camp is geared toward supplementing the learning in the morning with exploratory activities in the afternoon. Every student will have the same class activities that will include art, fitness, and discovery. To be eligible for afternoon care, students must participate in the morning component. Students must stay on-site the whole time, and cannot be brought back for additional programming once they leave. Classes will be led by aspiring teachers with a lead teacher available onsite. Tuition assistance available to qualifying students.
