CREATIVE SUMMER WORKSHOPS 2025

Welcome to the 41st year of the Creative Summer Workshops of the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Public Schools! We are delighted to provide another four-week program including the SPF Summer Instrumental Music School.

Developed and conducted by the Scotch Plains-Fanwood Board of Education, the Creative Summer Workshops have been designed to offer a variety of enrichment for students. An experienced and talented professional staff will once again lead progressive, challenging, and exciting courses in a fun and engaging atmosphere. The program is open for students who reside in Scotch Plains and Fanwood, as well as surrounding areas.
