Out-of-School Experience
Summer FUNdamentals | 2024

Summer FUNdamentals

During the summer months, an expanded version of Foundations + Focus combined with After Care to fill full days. It’s truly the most tremendous fun in the sun. (Tell everyone!)

Turning Point Summer Programs serve as both a bridge to and an extension of our signature Elementary and Middle School Programs. Students become campers and continue to explore the key elements that define their social, physical, intellectual, ethical, and emotional growth while enjoying the fun of summertime. Our safe and inclusive environment provides the perfect place for campers to practice creativity, leadership, friendship, well-being, independence, and self-advocacy.

Focus lessons (private and semi-private) will also be available during the summer. Please see the Focus Lesson section at the bottom of the page for more information and to register.

Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes close when they reach maximum enrollment, so families are encouraged to sign up early.

Read more below about our traditional Start-of-Summer (rising Grades 1-8) and Back-to-School (rising Grades K-8) camps as well as our returning TPS Theatre Camp (rising Grades 1-5)!

Grade levels listed refer to the grade level students will be entering in the 2024-25 academic year.

If you are interested in summer options for ECD and Rising Grade K students, please contact Early Childhood Division Head, Ms. Sharon Cox.

Summer Camp logistics are subject to change based on the guidelines issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.

3, 2, 1.... FUN! Our Back-to-School Camp offers campers a chance to celebrate the conclusion of summer, connect with friends, and ease into the new school year. 

For rising Grades K-6, variety and play are still key. The day's schedule will include sessions in subjects like Music, Theatre, Dance, Art and time in our camper favorite Games + Crafts Room (aka Arcade Room)! Each session will explore its designated subject with both focused study and engagement in play-based activities. There will be plenty of time for breaks and socializing, too.
