Enjoy having fun with our wonderful 2nd- through 6th-graders as you help them sharpen their academic skills and get ready for the coming school year!
Our summer daycamp includes:
Reading and Writing
Math
Science
Games
Arts & Crafts
Field Trips
and more . . .
Our campers -- all of whom are enrolled in our school-year homework assistance program -- are low-income children whose parents do not consider their English skills adequate to help their children with schoolwork. Our summer daycamp is a great way for the students to have fun while polishing up those important back-to-school skills!
