Summer Arts Academy – 2023

The Summer Arts Academy for VAPA students was amazing! We would like to congratulate and thank all the students, teachers, parents, and staff for a successful camp this year!

The SUHSD Summer Arts Academy was a FREE one-week camp offered each summer to Sweetwater Union High School District students that are currently enrolled in the arts. The camp celebrated the Visual Arts, TV/Film, Photography, Choir, Concert Band, Guitar, Orchestra, Mariachi, and Color Guard.

Once again, we would like to thank all the students that participated this year. Have a great summer break and see you next year!
