Academic Engagement Camp at College Settlement
A safe space for your child to spend the school day.
College Settlement is opening an Academic Engagement Camp and hoping to assist essential employees.
During this unusual and difficult time, College Settlement is offering a safe, monitored place for children to do their schoolwork allowing parents to go to their jobs secure that their children are taken care of.
This new program begins September 14th and ends November 20th in hopes of assisting families in need. Our 5, 3 and 2 day sessions are available to provide support to essential worker families and under-served families in our community.
We will enable students to review and learn their school district's curriculum using the internet, while providing opportunities for socially distanced engagement with peers, personal exploration, and interactions with nature.
Students will have a workspace in our open-air Day Camp Building which has 8 garage doors,12 windows and ceiling fans to allow fresh air to flow throughout the building. Our kid-friendly staff will provide brain breaks, recess and lunch outdoors, weather permitting and provide the much needed social and emotional support which children have missed due to Covid-19. We will adhere to CDC Guidelines for all staff and participants and hold daily health check-ins which will include temperature checks as well as Covid related questions.
