reate the perfect balance of academics and fun for your child by selecting a morning academic camp and adding an afternoon art, swimming or sports camp. Our popular academic camps are a great way to review, maintain and enhance skills introduced in the previous school year.

Skill Sharpener provides extra help and reinforces foundational skills to prepare your children for the grade level they will enter in the fall. YOUniversity offers your child a “sneak peek” into the next grade level and provides enrichment activities.

The curricular emphasis in each of these camps focuses on individual skill development and learning strategies in language arts and math. Each camp maintains a low camper-to-staff ratio. The camp will have a teacher as well as a teaching assistant, allowing campers to advance at their own pace. We encouage open communication between parents and teachers.

Instuctors will provide progress updates during the third and sixth week of camp for grades 1–5 and during the fourth week for grades 6–8.

YOUniversity provides an atmosphere that feeds your curiosity while giving a sneak peek into the next grade level. This camp focuses on language arts and math skills while incorporating other subject areas. The atmosphere encourages you to analyze, evaluate and create. You may want to consider YOUniversity if you will benefit from an advanced program of enrichment in reading and math.
