SOUTH ORANGE / MAPLEWOOD, NJ — The South Orange-Maplewood Adult School children’s summer program offers more than 100 classes in creative arts, music, science and sports. Students get to choose their own classes — there are five periods in a day — and the day can be as long or short as they like. This summer the program will be located at South Orange Middle School. Students can expect to follow their custom-made schedule each day, be instructed by professional, experienced teachers and be assisted by trained teen counselors. The program also offers early morning drop-off on-site and after-care run by the South Mountain YMCA.
Specialty classes range from coding and a musical theater camp to TV production and wizard camp — and nearly everything in between.
The Summer Orchestra Academy provides ensemble lessons and individual mentoring for violin, viola and cello students entering third through eighth grade. The Summer Band Academy provides ensemble lessons and individual mentoring for woodwind, brass and percussion students entering fifth through eighth grade. Both academies culminate with a concert performance. The popular Suzuki violin program will be offered for students who have taken Suzuki violin lessons during the year and wish to continue to the next level.
The sports camp offers basketball, fencing, track, soccer, girls’ volleyball and gymnastics.
Registrations are processed in the order they are received and parents are encouraged to enroll their children early in order to receive their first-choice classes. The 2017 children’s summer program catalog has been mailed to every home in South Orange and Maplewood. It is also available online at www.somadultschool.org. For more information, call 973-378-7620.
