Our Summer 2026 Program Offerings
Summer Academic & Enrichment Camps
Our Summer Academic & Enrichment Camps are designed to help students maintain academic progress, build confidence, enjoy outdoor adventures, and develop meaningful friendships during the summer months.
While academics remain a strong focus, our camp experience is intentionally balanced with enrichment activities such as walks around the Old Mill and Box Factory area, hands-on art projects, summer reading motivation, collaborative games, and creative exploration. Our goal is to make learning both effective and enjoyable in a supportive, small-group setting.
We are committed to helping students grow academically while enjoying a fun and motivating summer experience.
Our summer camps include reading, writing, math camps, and Spanish camps for all learners!
Our classroom community environment is positive, safe, celebrates successes, and most importantly, it fosters pride and self-confidence in students! We love the mantra,”We can do hard things!” There is a lot of benefit to productive struggle, which is often where the most learning and growth happen!
We are proud of the connections we have built with our students over the years, and seeing them succeed after years of struggling is truly one of our greatest joys!

Sounds Fun! Early Literacy Program
A summer academic enrichment class for students aged 5 ½ to 7 years old. This “Sounds Fun” class will enrich, strengthen, and build essential foundational reading skills using a meaningful, multi-sensory, and science-based approach to learning.
Phonological Awareness and Phonics Skill-Building
Phonological awareness and phonics skills are some of the best predictors of a student’s ability to read fluently. To break the code for reading, a student must have these essential foundational skills. Research has shown that when the sounds of language are taught explicitly and systematically, it has a direct impact on reading success.

What is a Learning Specialist?
A learning specialist goes beyond being simply a tutor in that we assess and teach individualized learning strategies to help students be more efficient at studying, memory, focus and more.
As learning specialists, we go beyond being a subject expert and homework helper. We try to get to the bottom of why students are struggling in the classroom and provide them with tools and strategies to help them overcome those challenges.
We go beyond academics and work hard to improve our student’s confidence, helping them better self-advocate for their learning needs and excel in any learning environment. To put it another way, we help students “learn” how to learn.

“Working with Shelly completely changed the trajectory of our child’s learning. She didn’t just tutor the material, she taught our son how to learn. His confidence has grown just as much as his skills, and for the first time, school doesn’t feel overwhelming to him.”
