Summer Learning 

Summer is truly our time! When youth engage in high quality summer learning experiences they gain 21st century skills, they are exposed the careers and community resources that they may not have the opportunity to experience, and they regain the joy of learning and see themselves as lifelong learners.  High-quality summer programs offer a combination of academics and enrichment to help ensure youth are more prepared for the school year ahead.  

Each year, MASP provides professional development and resources to help with summer programming. Check back frequently for new tools and events!
