Summer School 2025

The 2025 Plymouth School District Summer School program will offer about 40 free classes to keep students thinking and active during the summer!

Who can attend?

Plymouth Summer School is open to all school-aged children enrolled in or residing within the Plymouth School District. Students currently in grades 1-11 are expected to transition from class to class with minimal support.

Currently in grades 1-7: Students can choose from dozens of enrichment classes. The final segment of the day (11-11:45 a.m.) will be Exploratory Learning/Nutrition time for all students, during which they can eat a free lunch and enjoy a variety of games and crafts.

Additional summer activities

Summer Child Care

Two age-appropriate programs are available:

  • Berry Branch: For children currently in 4K or 5K; at Horizon Elementary School
  • Extra Mile: For children currently in grades 1-4; at Fairview Elementary School

Care is available 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, except during the hours that Summer School is in session (i.e. 8-11:45 a.m. Monday-Thursday June 16-July 17), so that students may participate in that program.

There is a nonrefundable registration fee of $75/child for summer care or $150/child for summer and 2025-26 school year care. (Registration fees help offset costs so families are not charged for days missed because of illness, vacation, etc.) Hourly fees are $5 for Berry Branch and $4.50 for Extra Mile.

How do I register?

Existing childcare families:  Visit the Child Care section of MyRec and register each child for summer care or summer and school year, and pay the appropriate registration fee.

1. Create a MyRec account for your household, if you do not already have one.
