SSA Summer extends the relational learning and robust opportunities that are unique to Shady Side Academy during the school year long, into the summer months. After the school year ends, a good summer camp or class provides your child the opportunity to discover new passions, hone existing talents, and forge new friendships.

The SSA Summer Difference

We embrace every child's unique story. Through our summer programs in Pittsburgh, our warm community provides a safe, supportive environment for kids to learn, and counselors maintain open communication with parents.

We offer more than 25 different camps and classes. From day camps to sports camps to summer school classes, you can build a schedule customized to your child's individual interests and your family's needs.

We understand the needs of working families. Our full-day camps include free lunch and free before-care, plus optional paid after-care. We also offer limited busing from the North Hills and East End to our Fox Chapel campuses, making transportation a snap with prior enrollment. You do not need to be a Shady Side Academy student to attend.
