Summer Learning Programs
We use innovative learning strategies to maintain student engagement and to develop a true love for learning and exploration. Our primary strategy is integrating project-based learning into our curriculum. We believe students learn best when they are active participants in the lessons. Students in our SLP learn by doing, creating, tinkering, practicing, and presenting. We couple hands-on experiences with literature, field trips, and program partners to bring learning to life. Each week there is a different camp theme that exposes students to new ideas and topics. There is a weekly field trip or experience that directly aligns to the camp theme. The students participate in daily activities and lessons to stretch their imaginations while developing their academic skills as we seek to prepare them for the upcoming school year. We are not only focused on the academic success of the students, but the physical and social success as well. Each day students are served nutritious meals and snacks and physical activity is integrated with the planned activities. Students build community with each other, develop interpersonal relationships, and increase confidence over the course of the SLP.
