Dear Parents: Summer comes and goes quickly and all of us want to make the most of the season. This directory will help you find activities families can enjoy together and for your children. Summer is a wonderful time for students to participate in a program that can provide new experiences and reinforce skills learned during the school year to support year-round learning. This helps to prevent â&#x20AC;&#x153;summer learning lossâ&#x20AC;? and keeps kids engaged in positive ways. Finding an affordable summer program that meets your needs can be a challenge. The directory lists a variety of camp, tutorial and other

What should I know before I get started? Begin by exploring with your children their interests in activities offered in the summer program listings. Also, be sure to talk with their teachers about their academic needs and whether your child may be required to attend summer school. You will need to be sure that the programs you choose won’t conflict with summer school dates and times, and to identify times during the summer your children will be able to participate in additional summer programs.

If your child is required to attend summer school, find out in what school the sessions will take place, and check the program listings (or ask school staff) for summer programs operating in or near the school that your child will be attending, so that they can participate in programs after summer school ends each day. Also, please be aware that a number of the day programs are located in Hartford area schools. Be sure to check with staff to confirm locations and schedules.

Can my child attend both the Hartford Public Schools Early Start or other HPS morning programs, and a summer camp or other community program?

Yes. The Hartford Public Schools Intervention 2015

programs are designed to provide enrichment activities around the summer school sessions. A few programs also continue after summer school ends in August. Youth not participating in HPS summer programs may enroll in a full-day community program. For details on the Hartford Public Schools Early Start and other programs, please refer to the summary in this directory. For additional details, visit the HPS website: www.hartfordschools.org.

(Early Start) or other program sessions are held either in the morning or afternoon and a number of the summer camps and other community programs offer half-day sessions. So, if your child is attending Early Start or other HPS programs, he or she can attend a camp or other community program either for a half-day or participate in a full-day program during June or July before summer school is in session. Many of the Hartford school-based

Your child may qualify for a campership or reduced fee based on family income.

If the registration deadline has passed, call the program to see if space is available.

How to use this directory This directory lists 48 summer programs. It is divided into three sections: camp, counselor-in-training and tutorial programs.

■ Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Programs These programs offer older youth who are too young to work a regular job the chance to earn a little money and receive training as assistants at camps or other summer programs. Many of the programs offer a small stipend while helping teens gain important leadership skills. You’ll want to sign up quickly for these programs as CIT internships go fast!

■ Camp Programs These summer programs offer a variety of fun learning activities including sports, arts, crafts, theater, swimming, computers, science, reading and other enrichment activities, and much, much more. Both residential and day summer programs are offered. Pick a program that best suits your child’s interests.

■ Tutorial Programs These programs encourage your child’s love of learning and academic success — with an emphasis on fun. Each program is different. Review the program descriptions, talk with program staff and select the program that will meet your child’s academic needs and interests the most.

How do I enroll my child in one of these programs? Contact the program directly as soon as possible. Use the contact information listed in the program listings. If one

program is full, call another. There are many options available for children and youth living in the Greater Hartford area.

Are there other summer programs available for children and youth in Greater Hartford?

Spring 2015

Dear Families, Let's celebrate summer! It is a wonderful time for families and for keeping youth engaged. During the summer, math and reading skills learned in school can fade if students are not involved in interesting activities that reinforce those skills. Many parents look for summer programs that will engage their children in activities that can help them continue to learn, promote healthy development and have fun at the same time. This directory, which we have been proud to publish in collaboration with the Hartford Public Schools for many years, provides information about summer school and other local programs, including programs for persons with special needs and senior citizens. The Hartford Foundation for Public Giving is pleased to work with agencies to develop strategies to support busy parents in their efforts to encourage their children to read more and to continue to develop their academic and other skills. Many of the summer programs listed in this directory are free or offer reduced fees, so we encourage parents to ask about financial assistance. We also invite parents and other adults looking for support in developing their job skills and connecting to training or employment to review the workforce development opportunities included in the back of this directory. Enjoy the summer! Sincerely,

Linda J. Kelly President

Early Start and Afternoon Enrichment* Program (Grades K-7): Monday, July 6–Friday, August 7, 2015 The Hartford Public Schools (HPS) offers a summer program known as Early Start Intervention 2015 (Early Start) for students in grades K-7 who are mandated to participate. Early Start students will be taught in the school they attended during the 2014-2015 school year. Academic instruction, breakfast, lunch, nursing services, and transportation (for eligible students) are provided at no cost for mandated students.

Early Start students in grades K-7 will improve in the academic areas of reading and math as evidenced by the results of the progress monitoring assessments and participate in enrichment learning opportunities* provided by Community-Based Organizations (CBOs).

Please check with your school site for additional information and updates regarding the Early Start summer program.

Summer Bridge Programs (Grades 8-9) Current 8th and 9th grade students who are transitioning into a new school or academy are invited to attend the Summer Bridge Program. The Summer Bridge Program provides students and families with an opportunity to meet the staff, prepare academically for the new school year, and become acquainted with the school building and resources. These programs are tailored to each school’s academic theme and school facility. Please check with your school site for additional information and updates regarding the Summer Bridge Program.

Centralized Summer Credit Recovery Program (Grades 9-12): June 29–July 30, 2015 The Centralized Summer Credit Recovery Program is intended for students, grades 9–12, who are currently enrolled in a Hartford Public School who are in need of credit recovery towards graduation.
