All day camps require students to bring a lunch. A first-day-of-camp email includes any items a child might need for the camp and sign-in and sign-out procedures. Payment in full or a commitment to a payment plan is expected at the time of registration, and if paying by cash or check, payment must be received at the SPEF office within 48 hours of registration or the student risks being dropped from their camp. SPEF offers Summer Camps classes based on confirmed registration, and a refund and change policy is uniformly applied. If a student is asked to go home based on inappropriate behavior twice, they are dismissed from the remainder of the summer camp without refund. High school students with basketball experience can volunteer as a coach and work with AC Green and his coaching staff, and high school students can also volunteer at Art Exploration Camp. Art Exploration Camp concludes with an Art Walk where young artists share their creations with family and friends.

The South Pasadena Educational Foundation has been active since 1979 and was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) charity in 1980. Its mission is to support educational excellence in the public schools of South Pasadena by raising funds to supplement the school district’s budget and by operating enrichment programs for local students. It is designated by the South Pasadena Unified School District as the official private fund-raising organization for the support of the district’s educational programs. Donations to SPEF have supported all five of South Pasadena’s public schools: Arroyo Vista, Marengo, and Monterey Hills elementary schools, South Pasadena Middle School, and South Pasadena High School, and SPEF raises funds through donations from area residents and businesses. The leadership team includes Stacey Leonard Petersen, Executive Director; Brionne Cox, Program Coordinator; Malinda Vargas, Development Coordinator; and Sioe Scott, Bookkeeper.
