Summer Educational Camps
Through grade three, children are learning to read and write; from grade four on, children are reading and writing to learn. At any time in these formative years, a gap in the reading and writing foundation can make learning of any type difficult.
APA Camps offer remedial and enrichment instruction in Reading, Writing and Math.
Each camp will offer a well–balanced, research-based, engaging program for all campers. The program fosters reading and writing independence and confidence. Instructors are positive and encouraging teachers who are trained to help your child find, restore or strengthen their Reading, Writing and Math skills. A diagnostic pre-screening assessment will be completed prior to camp to identify your child’s academic strengths and weaknesses. Results from this test are used to ensure your child will receive the precise instruction needed to improve.
Each morning or afternoon, campers participate in the Reading, Writing or Math Method for 1 hour, sports, and games for 1 hour, and Reading, Writing or Math activities for the third hour, led by certified educators. Each section will have appropriate “mini-breaks”. Participants will be placed in small groups for instruction.
