San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is partnering with the City and County of San Francisco on the Summer Together Initiative.
The program will offer free in-person and virtual summer camps and programs for thousands of San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) youth. There will be an early registration period between April 19 and May 7 for some student populations and an open enrollment period for all beginning May 8. All SFUSD students receive priority over non-SFUSD students for the range of programs offered. In addition, there are programs that only certain students are eligible to participate in and each of these programs will be reaching out to eligible participants directly.

- Residents of public housing, RVs and SROs
- Families that are experiencing homelessness
- Children and youth in the foster care system
- English language learners
- Low-income families, with a focus on historically impacted communities, including people who identify as African American, Latino/a/x, Native American, Pacific Islander, and/or Asian.
- SF Recreation & Parks Department families receiving scholarships
- Children with disabilities

Summer Together Program Key Dates and Times:
April 19-May 7: Early registration for eligible SFUSD families
May 8: General enrollment for SFUSD families for Summer Together programs begins
To support families in creating an enriching summer for their children, students may sign up for more than one opportunity. However, please refrain from signing up for any program your child is unable to commit to. Once a student’s enrollment in a summer program is confirmed, please be sure to participate in the program as your child will be holding a space.
The Summer Together Initiative continues to grow its capacity to provide over twenty thousand opportunities for SFUSD students. However there is no guarantee that every family will be able to access their preferred program.
