What’s Happening at the Breakfast
Pancakes, Syrup and Bacon… Oh My! Enjoy a hearty breakfast that will fuel your Sunday activities.
Special kids’ activities: We’ll have fun hands-on activities to keep kids of all ages engaged and entertained.
Learn About Explorium Programs: The Mountain Top team will be there so families can learn more about our summer camps, after-school programs, the children’s museum, and MORE! We’ll also be unveiling a unique activity being introduced to the Mountain Top Summer Camp.
This breakfast is just the beginning of something much bigger. From April 6th to June 8th, we’re running our Spring Scholarship Campaign. Thanks to a $7,500 challenge grant from Alpine Bank, we have the opportunity to double the impact and raise $15,000! Every dollar you contribute helps provide essential scholarships that make our programs accessible to more families.
Why It Matters
School Year - Our programs, including after-school care, school break programs, and summer camps, are offered on a sliding fee scale. This allows students qualifying for free or reduced lunch to access our programs for as little as $1 per day.
School Year - With over 45% of local after school students on free and reduced lunch, we distribute more than $115,000 in scholarships annually to make sure no child is left behind.
Summer Camp - All local students benefit from a subsidized scholarship rate of $65 per day (instead of the true cost of $115 per day). This adds up to $95,000 in subsidies for Summit students, plus an additional $11,000 in direct scholarships for children who need it most.
Real Impact, Real Stories
Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what local families have to say:
“[Mountain Top Explorium] fills in the gaps in childcare for our single-parent household in a fun and educational manner.”
“I wouldn’t be able to work without these programs. I especially like that it’s a full-day program, which provides me with the flexibility I need.”
