PROGRAMMING HIGHLIGHT:
TUESDAY SEATTLE ADVENTURES
|
Introducing a new weekly group...Tuesday Seattle Adventures! Join SCC for an adventurous time every week, and discover some of the amazing and unique sights that Seattle has to offer! This group will be visiting the Seattle Aquarium, the Gum Wall, the Fremont Troll, among other spots around Seattle. |
| MEMBER CORNER
Don't forget your Orca Pass - We encourage all of our members to carry an Orca pass with them while at the SCC as our groups are often engaging in the community and riding public transportation. Please bring an Orca card with you when registered for community outings. If you need support getting an Orca pass please contact the SCC.
Arrival Times - The SCC relies on public transportation schedules to get to our community destinations. Outing instructors will provide a 5 minute grace period for members to arrive at SCC. Upon that 5 minute grace period, outings will commence. If a member is absent or is not ready to transition to the outing, they will be supported in finding other activities at the SCC to participate in until the group returns.
|
PLANNING FOR SUMMER? The SCC will be offering a wide range of full-day and evening Summer programming 6 days per week focused on Community Engagement, Outdoor Programming, and Summer themed fun!
Summer Quarter Dates: July 8th - September 28th |

| PARTNER HIGHLIGHT:
BRIDGES Programs Students from Seattle Public Schools' BRIDGES (Building Real-life Independent Daily Living and Gainful Employment Skills) Programs have been collaborating with Summit!
Every week, BRIDGES students visit SCC for pre-employment DVR classes. In collaboration with Summit staff, these students work on self-advocacy, as well as build independent living skills and communication skills through cooking.
Students start with classroom work on self-advocacy and self-development, and then make a collaborative plan on how to follow a recipe, support each other, and cook together - and then, share a meal together! |
