Quakertown Community School District

Quakertown Community School District is excited to offer summer camps for the 2023 summer. This summer, we will be offering academic and music camps.

Academic Camp
Academic camps will be held in person for two weeks, from Monday to Thursday, June 19th - 29th at Neidig Elementary from 9am - 2pm. Academic camps are invitation-only for elementary students in need of additional support in areas of literacy or math, students demonstrating need after a year of kindergarten, or students in our English Language Learning program. The academic camps come at no cost to our families, and transportation (if needed) can be provided to invited students. Teachers and district staff will review a wide variety of data for each student, and should a student be determined as in need of additional support, a letter will be sent home with that information and next steps. 

Music Camp
The music camps will run on a different schedule and be held at Strayer. Summer Music Academy (SMA) is a 6-week instrumental music lesson program that runs from the last week in June to the first week in August 2023, from June 26, 2023 to August 3, 2023.

It is open to QCSD and non-QCSD students. Students attend one, 45-minute small group lesson weekly, taught by a highly-qualified Music Teacher. Pending interest, there may also be an option for students to participate in a large ensemble experience. Interested students should check out the flyer here and then register through MySchoolBucks for QCSD students and for students outside the district.

Instruments offered: 

• 3rd grade and older: violin, viola, cello, string bass, beginner piano
