July campers will blast into faraway places across the world and galaxy, never knowing exactly what they will encounter until they reach their destination. Through reading, exploration, and fun activities, campers will satisfy their curiosity about faraway places and spaces.

Camp Descriptions

I loved how staff were able to make the camp experience both fun and educational.  My son looked forward to camp every day and had completely changed his opinion on reading!  He has started choosing independent reading time over time on his tablet.  We are so pleased with his growth in the past three weeks.

Miriam is such a wonderful resource in our community. The camps offer support during the summer when school is out, and I especially appreciate the executive function and social skills camps.
