Summer Programs
STE Summer Programs offer dynamic, enriching opportunities for Preschool through High School students to thrive all summer long.
From hands-on innovation in our Summer STEM Institute—featuring robotics, coding, and space exploration—to the rich Scottish tradition of Balmoral with bagpiping and drumming, there’s truly something for every interest. Students can deepen their faith at Vacation Bible School, elevate their game at our high-energy Basketball Camp, and dive into large language models and generative AI through the Inspirit AI Program, taught by graduates of MIT and Stanford.
At STE, summer isn’t just a break—it’s an opportunity to spark creativity, cultivate friendships, and build character.
Please see below for our Summer Programs Information Booklet and Registration forms.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL (VBS)
June 16-19 | Ages 3-12
Pack your bags for Emerald Crossing, an Irish adventure through Psalm 23! As we journey from Ireland’s lush meadows to its cobblestone streets, kids will follow the life of the shepherd-king David to discover how to cross from worry to peace and fear to faith. Through this immersive experience, travelers will learn that they are cherished children of the Good Shepherd, finding the guidance, comfort, and "attitude of gratitude" needed to navigate life with confidence. Join us as we explore the Emerald Isle and discover that God’s goodness and mercy are our ultimate traveling companions!
