Two summers ago, I was able to find a reading "camp" for my then rising 1st grader with processing and retention issues. It was essentially summer school, but the teachers had a fun approach and integrated lots of cool learning games. I found it did wonders for DD overall. Her skills were much sharper as she entered the school year whereas the previous year she nearly started from scratch again. Is anyone aware of a similar program for this summer for reading and/or math? I'd also be interested in any other suggestions for camp that provide an inclusive environment for SN kids. DD is at a 1st grade level overall and also has a issues re: motor skills. We live in Bethesda and work in downtown DC. Thanks

I'm looking for suggestions for programs/options for continuing academic studies through the summer months in addition to a typical summer camp. My daughter, who will be entering second grade in the fall, has speech/language delays and is below grade level in reading and math. She's making progress this year, but her teachers felt she lost ground last summer. Ideally, I would like to find a summer program that begins the day with and hour or two of math and reading then launches into art, music, swimming, nature studies, etc. Does anyone know of a program that might fit the bill, or has anyone tried incorporating tutoring into a summer program? I'm concerned that the morning hours are the best time for tutoring and most day camps seem to be more programmed during the morning than the afternoon. I'd welcome suggestions for tutors too. We live in the Glen Echo area of Bethesda and work in DC. Thanks, Caitlin
