Pathway to Academic Achievement
Summer Camp Programs In the summer, this program serves school-age children during daytime hours. All summer camps have both academic and health components. Here, children keep their minds and bodies active, decreasing and even eliminating the possibility of summer learning loss, while staying physically fit. According to the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA), most students lose two months of mathematical skills every summer, and low income children typically lose another two to three months in reading. Elementary school students with high levels of attendance (at least five weeks) in voluntary summer learning programs experience benefits in math and reading. From pre-test to post-test, according to the Brigance Comprehensive Inventory of Basic Skills, our goal is that children will show no signs of summer learning loss in math and reading. In 2017: • 96% of children participating in Operation Pathways’ summer camps showed no signs of summer learning loss in math • 97% of participating children in Operation Pathways’ summer camps showed no signs of summer learning loss in reading
