New Look, Same Great Learning: Youth Educational Programs this Summer and Beyond
For years, Stanly County families have enjoyed high-quality, low-cost summer fun with Stanly County Cooperative Extension. In 2026, we are making a small change to how you find and sign up for our programs!
While we are retiring the "Summer Blast" name, the number of educational opportunities remains the same. To better serve you, each of our Extension Agents will now personally manage and share the programs in their specific areas of expertise. This means you get the most accurate, up-to-date information directly from the experts leading the classes.
