Summer is Here!

Our Summer Enrichment Program began on June 30. This six-week program mixes academic enrichment with hands-on activities and both onsite events and trips. 

Our program is designed to mitigate academic learning loss that occurs during the summer months; research shows this is more prevalent with children from low-income households, the majority of children we serve. It is almost important that our kids get a chance to be kids and have fun! The morning sessions Mondays-Thursdays are devoted to academics as our Learning Coaches provide academic enrichment and instruction by grade level in subjects including language arts and math through lessons, hands-on projects and educational games. Each week has a theme and Learning Coaches build lessons based on these themes. 

After the morning session, lunch is provided. Each afternoon there are more traditional camp-like activities like arts and crafts and sports including a Running Club led by ECV alumni. Fridays are reserved for field trips and onsite activities
