Game Over for Summer Camp

In June, we launched our 6-week summer camp themed ‘Game On’. This year, we hosted nearly 200 students on the campus of the College of Charleston – our largest summer camp cohort to date.

During camp, our students enjoyed a myriad of activities on and off campus which included: Kayaking, Paddleboarding, Crabbing, Robot Coding, Gymnastics, Swimming, Basketball, Soccer and many more! Students engaged in creative math and literacy lessons to keep their academics sharp. 

We loved the energy of this year’s camp and wish our students luck as they embark on a new school year – full of new knowledge and growth.
