"Why" is the most important question! Why participate in Summer Experience?
Being at school and socializing with friends, building community, and having a consistent connection with school are a few reasons why. Continuing to keep academic skills sharp and building new knowledge, with the added benefit of using the outdoors as a hands-on classroom, all of these reasons and so many more are the WHY. This program helps to ensure that all of our children find success at school and beyond, and our community strongly believes in supporting kids throughout the entire year. Your Summer Experience teachers have strong academic backgrounds, great rapport with our kids, and demonstrate a true love of learning. We look forward to spending the summer with you!
