Description:

In order to keep our girls active, FSH created the popular Summer Dreams program which runs for 4 weeks, Monday through Thursday. Students enjoy a daily variety of academic enrichment classes and cultural trips followed by skating instruction, participating in a total of 35 hours per week. This four-week program provides an opportunity for students to receive academic and social-emotional support while learning/honing their skating skills. We look forward to welcoming them this summer!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a typical day at Summer Dreams? 

Programming starts at 10:00 AM where students are separated into their cohorts. Students will be with us for the first part of the day from 10:00 AM-2:30 PM, working on a project-based curriculum along with participating in activities such as dance and movement at the FSH Academic Center. 

Students are then transported to the rink where they receive 1 hour and 20 minutes of skating lessons.  They are then transported back to the Academic Center for pickup at 6:00 PM.

Families requesting early drop-off can sign up for this program at 8:30 AM for an additional fee. In addition, our social work team will also be available to provide social-emotional support and life skills training to support your child's overall development.

Summer Dreams runs from July 8-August 8, Monday-Thursday, from 10:00 AM-6:00 PM. Academic enrichment occurs every day Monday-Thursday from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM and skating occurs from 2:00-6:00 PM.
