Summer camps that continue academics?

[Anonymous]

My DD is six and hit many academic milestones this past year. She learned to add numbers, basic reading, etc. however, during the summer months whole at camp, she's fallen behind. The confidence she gained in meeting those milestones is gone and she now hates reading and math because she's frustrated and slightly embarrassed. I've tried to gently hrlp her in the evenings and read to her a lot, but there's not been progress.

I want to avoid this slip back next summer. Not looking for a purely academic camp, but her current camp is largely crafts and sports. The teacher reads to them but there is no assistance in helping kids read etc. I wouldn't expect that at this camp, but would like to know if such camps exist? Maybe academics lite in the morning and team sports in the afternoon?

I live in NoVa/tysons area.

Langley School summer studio. You can choose an academic morning class and something fun for the afternoon. My kids love the morning classes.

Does fairfax county do any summer enrichment programs through the schools? Arlington does 3-week programs in July that are a half-day of learning and a half-day of fun stuff and field trips. (only Arlington residents are eligible, though.) It costs about the same per-week as a regular day camp.

Lowell has an academic pull-out that you can sign up for separately, at least during the first session.
