Summer Discovery is back and families don’t have to pay anything! In 2025, the program reached nearly 30,000 students at 169 sites across Wayne, Macomb, and Oakland counties with hands-on learning, enrichment, and fun-filled experiences.
In 2025, students' ELA and math proficiency increased by an average of 16 points and 93% of families said the program helped prepare their child for the next school year. This summer, even more kids will have the chance to build skills, make new friends, and explore exciting opportunities.
Rising K – Rising 10th grade students (students entering Kindergarten-10th grade in fall 2026) are eligible. Programs are full-day (with some half-day options for rising 9th and 10th graders) and run for at least 4-5 weeks, offering a mix of academics, creative activities, and field trips to keep kids engaged and growing.
And the best part? Summer Discovery doesn't cost families anything! Hosted at select schools and community sites, it ensures students have access to a high-quality summer learning experience at no cost to families.
Give your child an unforgettable summer of learning and fun!
