Come and Discover Fun and Academic Camps with Us!
Academic Enrichment
Teachers have many resources they will use to provide academic enrichment daily. The morning academic enrichment will come through themed activities that are multi-sensory and subject focused. Afternoon academic times will based on “skill and drill folders” -doing daily refreshers to check on grade level benchmarks. These activities will be used to help bridge the gap to upcoming grade levels. Work will be sent home and any feedback on skill mastery or understanding will be communicated to parents so that we are helping address any gaps that students may have due to lack of hands on instruction during the final quarter due to COVID-19 school closures.
Foundations’ Camp programs combine fun and exciting sports and outdoor activities with educational curriculum and projects. Our lead teachers are degreed teachers, with an average ratio of 1 teacher for every 12 children in each camp. Foundations is nationally accredited by NAEYC & SACS-CASI and upholds these high standards during the Camp program.
