Summer Enrichment
Our summer enrichment programs blend education and adventure with various STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) activities. Each session, from coding and physics to filmmaking and outdoor exploration, is designed to ignite creativity and foster a love for learning.
Children ages 5 to 14 can engage in hands-on projects that match their interests, with flexible scheduling for full-day or half-day programs.

Acera’s Summer CIT Program offers teens a chance to step into leadership roles while immersing themselves in the dynamic world of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics). Guided by experienced educators and research professionals, this program delivers top-tier instruction that empowers teens to inspire and make an impact in their community. As CITs, teens will mentor younger campers, guiding them through hands-on STEAM projects that foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Join us this summer and watch your teen grow into a confident leader while embarking on a transformative journey of learning and personal growth.
Acera’s CIT Program provides teens with a hands-on learning experience, continuing our commitment to nurturing lifelong learners. CITs work alongside counselors and campers, supporting more than 140 enrichment offerings for ages 5–14. By sharing their knowledge and experiences, CITs not only deepen their own learning but also contribute to strengthening Acera’s vibrant academic community.
Program benefits include: CPR/ First Aid Training, Childhood Development, Behaviorism, and Education Training, Mentor Pairing, Customized Cohort Messaging, Leadership and Resume Training

No refund or reduction in fees is possible for a child who arrives late, leaves early, or attends part of a session due to illness (other than a hospital stay).
Families will receive a full refund for programs cancelled due to teacher illness or low enrollment.
In the event a family is dissatisfied with a program and elects to un-enroll their child, a credit will be issued and may be applied to a future course.
Participation in Acera’s summer enrichment requires the following health forms to be uploaded in CampBrain:
- Physical (dated within the last 18 months)
- Immunizations Records
Optional forms include:

We are not a “nut-free” facility, but we have a designated allergen-free eating area. If your child has severe allergies or prescription medications, please contact [email protected] for appropriate support.
To help maintain a safe, welcoming, and focused environment for all students:
- Parents and caregivers are welcome inside the building up to 10 minutes before drop-off or pick-up.
- Early pick-up is always permitted — just let a staff member know.
- During program hours, we ask that families not remain inside the building, so students can fully engage and thrive in their learning experience.
- During walk-in pick-ups we ask all grownups to wait in the lobby and when your kiddos are ready they will come to you.
Decisions about participation in our enrichment programs are made at the discretion of the instructor and the Enrichment Program Manager. If a student is not able to participate in a safe and productive way, or if the teacher feels that the student is not engaging at a level appropriate for the program, the instructor may ask that s/he switch to a different session, or not return to the program. We have a zero-tolerance policy for physical aggression or verbal and emotional harassment towards other participants.
Refunds will not be provided for students removed from the program due to behavioral issues.
