We've Expanded and Improved our Program

(Breakfast, lunch, weekly field trips, daily fun activities,
​and classes are all included in pricing)
PACC Summer Fun is our summer program, offering a safe, joyful, and engaging space for children ages 4 to 15 to learn, play, and grow. With a focus on creativity, activity, and community, we provide a variety of exciting classes for kids of all ages.

What PACC Summer Fun Offers:
  • Palestine Education (HOPE): At the heart of our summer is HOPE. Through activities rooted in Palestine Education, children explore their identity, understand Palestinian history, and connect with their heritage.
  • 🎨 Art & Culture (Free Art): Children express themselves creatively.
  • 🏃‍♂️ Gym & Movement: Fun games and activities that build teamwork and physical wellness.
  • 🔬 Hands-On STEM: Exciting experiments and projects that turn young thinkers into innovators.
  • 💡 Passion Projects & Marketplace Day: Kids bring their ideas to life and showcase them at our end-of-summer Marketplace Day, learning entrepreneurship.​
  • 🗳️ Civic Engagement: Kids explore what it means to be an active community member.

    ​For our older track (the Royal Irises & Kuffiyehs), we will also offer cooking, basketball, and dabka.

New Counselor in Training Program 
(16 and 17-year-olds)
At PACC Summer Fun, we believe leadership has no age limit. Our Counselor in Training (CIT) Program invites teens ages 16 and 17 to step up, give back, and become the mentors they looked up to.
This program is a journey in empowerment. CITs learn by doing—coaching a game of soccer with The Handalas, assisting with a science experiment for The Sunbirds, or helping a young Poppy with an art project. Along the way, they participate in leadership workshops, learning the values of responsibility, empathy, and civic engagement that are at the core of our HOPE curriculum.
It’s more than volunteer hours. It’s a chance to invest in your community, discover your strengths, and inspire the next generation.
Are you ready to lead?
