Program Overview 

The Salt Lake City School District Community Education Summer Learning Program offers an engaging and well-balanced six-week STREAM and SEL enrichment experience for students in grades K–6. Running from June 8 to July 16, 2026, the program helps students strengthen academic foundations, spark creativity, and build emotional intelligence—all while combating the “summer slide,” the loss of academic skills and knowledge that can occur during summer break.
