Each subject lasts about 45 minutes per day. There are two 30-minute snack breaks and a one-hour lunch break. Healthy and nutritious snacks will be provided. Campers are asked to bring their own lunches.
Jump Start Program
The Jump Start Program is designed to:
1) Help kids who need a boost during the summer in order to prepare academically for the fall, and
2) Challenge motivated students who are seeking academic enrichment opportunities during the summer months.
Jump Start classes offer tutoring in two core subject areas: Math and Spanish. Boys and girls will be assigned to the appropriate class level based on their needs and abilities. The 90-minute sessions, led by qualified instructors, range from 2 to 5 students per class so you can be sure your child will be getting plenty of individual attention.
Students participating in our Jump Start Program can join our action-packed camp session in progress.
