Many Salem-Keizer Public Schools programs and schools host summer activities to support students with academics and a smooth transition to the new school year. The Salem-Keizer community is also full of opportunities to help students stay engaged over the summer. They support student learning, wellness and engagement.
Below are some of the clubs, programs, events and activities available to students in the Salem-Keizer community during summer break. We will continue to update our list throughout the coming months with additional opportunities available in our community.

We encourage families to explore each option to determine what best fits their needs, interests and schedules. Some offerings may have registration deadlines, enrollment fees or scholarship opportunities. Please contact the program organizers directly with any questions.
