What is the summer slide?

^{The summer slide is the tendency for students, especially those living in low-income households, to lose academic ground over the summer. This slide happens because of an opportunity gap - the inability to access enriching, constructive summertime experiences.}

We offer a range of academic and healthy youth development activities free of charge over the course of our six-week summer program to bridge this opportunity gap including:

• Reading & Writing practice
• STEM Activities
• Arts & Crafts
• Dance & Music lessons
• Field Trips
• Confidence building challenges like swimming + hiking
