Learning Should Feel Like an Adventure
Our approach to summer learning is to provide project-based experiences to engage students in improving foundational skills of writing, math, and science.
STEAM Camp for Girls
From robotics to aquariums, guest speakers, and museums, the STEAM Academy for Girls is a summer camp that prepares young girls for the 21st-century workforce with hands-on experience and projects.
Photojournalism Camp
Photojournalism Camp offers students an opportunity to not only document their community, but also learn about the history and power of photojournalism. Students will have a chance to hear from guest speakers and create a narrative of their own through their lens.
Math Academy
Summer doesn’t have to be a time of academic stagnancy; it can be a time for students to catch up and sharpen their skills. That is why the Summer Math Academy exists! Students are tutored three times per week between 2:30 pm and 6:00 pm for 45-minute sessions, working 1-on-1 with a tutor.
Youth Summer Arts & Culture Summit
A Black Youth Leadership Development Initiative
Gateway Educational Services was founded by two Black/African American women. Our Black Youth Leadership development program is dedicated to advancing the educational opportunities of Black youth in Santa Barbara County. This program integrates social & emotional development through arts and culture alongside academic achievement.
A day of arts, culture, leadership, and community sums up the Black Youth Leadership Summit. Founded in 2022 after Black parents and parents of Black children were looking for an intentional way to build community and start the school year with joy and belonging. We have partnered with local foundations and corporations to create a day of leadership and art workshops, as well as parent workshops to keep the community connected, informed, and empowered. (Grades 5-12)
