Welcome to the 42nd year of the Creative Summer Workshops of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public Schools! We are delighted to provide a four-week program including the SPF Summer Instrumental Music School.

A little about the program.....

The Creative Summer Workshop was developed and is conducted by the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education.  It is designed to offer a variety of enrichment for students. An experienced and talented professional staff will once again lead progressive, challenging, and exciting courses in a fun and engaging atmosphere.  The program is open to all public and private school students who reside in Scotch Plains and Fanwood, as well as all surrounding towns.

The workshops are all held at Malcolm E. Nettingham Middle School, located at 580 Park Avenue in Scotch Plains.  The courses run from 8:30 - 1pm and most courses are an hour in length.  We have a nurse on site daily.

Classes are open to students in grades K-8 from Scotch Plains, Fanwood and the surrounding communities. Our Instrumental Music Program is open to students in grades 4-9. 

Registration is on a “first come, first serve” basis. Many workshops have limited enrollment and if they are filled your child will be placed on a waiting list. The Creative Summer Workshop is open to students from Scotch Plains and Fanwood, as well as all surrounding communities. Registration closes on June 8, 2026.

PLEASE MAKE CLASS SELECTIONS CAREFULLY.
