While academics is a core component of the program, Sensational Summer Learning offers enrichment opportunities that extend beyond the textbooks.

For example, our partner Sheriff Mark Pettway's Youth Summer Camp provides a holistic enrichment experience for middle school students, combining academic instruction with social-emotional learning and creative expression. One the classes at Sheriff Pettway's camp teaches the fundamentals of tai chi.

Meanwhile, the Birmingham City Schools Art Department offers June Tunes, a band camp where young musicians hone their skills through learning jazz and other popular music. The camp culminates in a program to be held at Carver High School's auditorium on June 25.
