The Delaware Department of Education has launched its Summer of Opportunity website, a searchable database to help families find school- and community-based learning activities for their children this summer.

The site, which allows users to toggle between map and table views, helps Delawareans find programs based on grades, dates, location, cost, sponsoring organization and transportation options. Enrollment in some offerings, such as school-based activities, may only be open to specific populations, while others have open admission.

“We want every Delaware student to have enriching experiences this summer with opportunities for formal and informal learning,” Secretary of Education Mark Holodick said. “For one student, that may mean attending science camp at a park. For another, it may mean enrolling in a school program that integrates English language arts supports and sports, and for a third, it could be a series of day trips with family and friends to explore the rich offerings of our region. Most important is that our students are engaged in some sort of learning and exploration this summer, so they return to school in the fall ready to learn and succeed in the new school year. We hope this site helps families find such opportunities.”

Organizations that would like to be included should email delaware.department.of.education@doe.k12.de.us.
