The Summer Signature Series at Admiral Farragut Academy (SSS Farragut) is a unique summer boarding school experience for teens entering grades 8-12 (ages 13-18). Attendees will be immersed in Farragut’s signature programs while also having fun during local activities and trips.
The camp is held on Farragut’s 40-acre campus in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Camp Ages & Dates
Any teen that is entering 8th-12th grade for the upcoming school year is allowed to attend the Summer Signature Series camp. This camp is open to the public and students do not have to be enrolled at Farragut.
SSS runs July 11 – August 14 7, 2021, and begins and ends on Sundays of each week.
Summer Curriculum
During the week, students will attend four classes daily that focus on various topics within one of our signature programs: STEM, Leadership and Sailing, Marine Science and Scuba, and Aviation. In the evening, they will have dinner, have time to work on their team project, socialize with other campers, and typically will participate in a fun group activity. Additionally, each week will include a team challenge based on a real-life issue. They will work with fellow team members to work toward a solution while developing a sense of community and all of the skills associated with teamwork.
Please Note: Attendees will not receive academic or elective high school credits through this summer program.
