CUSD 300 outlines 2025 summer learning and enrichment programs, ESY sites and CTE camps
Summary
District 300 presented its summer program offerings for 2025, including ESY locations, summer scholars math support, 8 zones for camps, more than 115 camps, and CTE and fine-arts opportunities. Registration details and program sites were announced.
District 300 leaders on Tuesday presented a broad slate of summer learning and enrichment programs for 2025, aiming to serve students from pre-K through high school with academic supports, credit recovery and camps in career-technical and fine-arts areas.
Superintendent staff presenters listed program types, eligibility, locations and partnerships. Extended School Year (ESY) and NIA programs serve students identified through Individualized Education Programs (IEPs); ESY sites will be Delacy, Gilberts, Lincoln Prairie and Jacobs High School, while NIA services are scheduled at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School.
The district said Summer Scholars will provide targeted math support for students rising into grades 1–8. Middle and high school students will be able to access credit-recovery and credit-enhancement courses, including behind-the-wheel and classroom driver’s education, history, and physical education. The district plans eight supervisory “zones” for day programming hosted at Algonquin Lakes, Big Timber, Dundee Highlands, Parkview, Liberty, Lake in the Hills, Dundee Crown High School and Hampshire High School.
District officials said more than 115 camps will be offered across athletics and enrichment. Career and technical education (CTE) camps—covering baking, cooking, welding, automotive technology, fashion and textiles, robotics, woodworking, computer programming, digital media and electrical technology—will be offered at all three high schools and generally include two sessions so students may explore multiple topics.
Fine-arts offerings will include instrumental and choral music camps for students rising to grades 5–8, and theater and visual-arts options for rising grades 3–8. The district also encouraged students to enroll in local public-library summer-reading programs and to report completion to District 300 for its Summer Read 300 competition; schools with the highest completion rates earn banners and participant shirts.
Registration status: district staff reported that registration was ongoing for many programs and that some programs (for example ESY) include pre-K options depending on the program’s eligibility rules. Program pages and registration appear on the district website at d300.org/summer and on the District 300 web store under summer camps.
Why it matters: The array of summer offerings is intended to support learning retention (ESY and Summer Scholars), credit progression for secondary students, and enrichment opportunities that connect school and community providers.
Ending: Staff invited board questions and said they would continue public communication about registration and site-specific schedules through district channels.
