Promise Community Summer Camps seek to provide innovative opportunities that support youth vocabulary and reading enhancement during the summer while school is not in session. Summer camp goals include fostering vocabulary development, instilling an appreciation for literature, improving reading comprehension skills, reducing dropout rates, and minimizing loss of knowledge over the summer. Camps typically range from six to eight weeks and include academic field trips and lunch each day camp is in session.
Early Learning Summer Camps: DHA’s early learning summer camps help prepare young children for kindergarten by offering instruction in foundational reading and math skills and adjusting them to school routines, procedures, and school buildings. Small World targets three- and four-year-old kids while Promise School serves students entering kindergarten in the fall.
How to Enroll:
Enrollment is dependent upon the type of camp. Some summer camps are open to all students attending partner schools. Other camps select students based on grades and tests scores and focus on improving areas of weakness.
