The pole is at 90 degrees North. The summer solstice happens when the Sun is overhead at the maximum latitude it ever reaches North (the Tropic of Cancer) which is currently 23° 26′ 16″ north of the Equator. Therefore the angular distance of the Sun from the North celestial pole at the summer solstice is (90° - 23° 26′ 16″ )= 66° 33′ 44″ measured from the pole.

That is also called the axis; the "end-points" of this axis are called the celestial poles.
What happens to the position of the axis from the summer solstice to the winter solstice?
The angle of the axis of rotation does not change. It always points to what is known as the celestial north, though it does wobble slowly making a full wobble, or circle about every 26,000 years. This is called precession. It is like a gyroscope. See the link below for an image of precession
