Courses 2026

Have you ever wondered what life would be like as a wizard? Ever wanted to learn how forensic scientists fight crime, how master chefs create incredible desserts, or how comic books get made? 

Not a current Carolina Friends family or a CFS Summer Programs family the past two years? Join our notification list and we'll let you know when the Summer Programs 2027 schedule is released and registration opening.

Our Summer Programs courses offer something for everyone, with experiential, hands-on learning for future artists, coders, performers, activists, mathematicians, athletes, and more. Each summer, students can return to a course with a favorite teacher or try one of our many new options, all driven by the expertise and passions of our instructors.

Inspired by Quaker values of respect, the search for truth, and the power of community, we aim to create a welcoming and affirming space where students and staff alike are comfortable bringing their authentic selves.

Courses meet from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm (with optional Extended Day care available from 8:00 to 9:00 am and from 3:00 to 4:00/5:45 pm).
