Summer Literacy Camps: Program Options

Students Entering Grades 1-6

Spelling, Reading Comprehension and Writing:

Students entering grades 1-6 will have the opportunity to engage in explicit spelling and reading fluency instruction while also  engaging with stories in a variety of meaningful ways. Using the skills they learn during direct spelling instruction, they will then work through story elements, focusing on plot, characters, and creative story extension. Activities will be tailored to different age groups, allowing students to use mentor texts as a springboard for their own writing.
Following an SRSD approach to writing, students will work from sentence-level writing, up to paragraph writing, depending on their age and learning needs.

• Specifically for students entering grade 6, programming will be tailored to expose students to elements of the Grade Six writing curriculum as a way to prepare them/front-load them to meet for grade six writing expectations.

Students Entering Grade 7+

Reading Comprehension and Writing: Novel Study 

Students entering grades 7-11 will participate in a 2 week novel study! They will focus on reading comprehension and paragraph writing. 

The novels will be chosen based on what students will be reading in the upcoming school year as a way to front-load/prepare them for the upcoming school year, while also teaching them foundational literacy skills needed for Gr 7+.

As examples (we will reach out to entering Gr7+ teachers to help make our final decisions):

1. Entering Grade Seven: The Giver, A Long Walk to Water, or The Bridge Home

2. Entering Grade Eight: The  Counting by Sevens, or Refugee

3. Entering Grade Nine: Animal Farm, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Ghost Boys, or Marrow Theives

4. Entering Grade 10+:

1. Shakespeare: Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, or Hamlet

2. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn AND James

3. Obasan and Snow Falling on Cedars

Lessons will focus on developing:

1. Metacognitive Skills: close reading and annotating

2. Developing thought-full discussions: talking points and how to listen-to and respond-to others

3. Summary writing, Response Writing, Essay Writing

1. Compare and contrast

2. Personal Response, or

3. Persuasive Essay

Weekly Summer Math Camps

All Camps will focus on: 

1. Fluency = mastering basic facts and computation skills

2. Reading Comprehension = dissecting multi-step word problems 

Unlike our literacy camps, please register NOT by grade level, but by the concept needing the most support. You can register in multiple programs over the summer. 

Camp PROGRAM OPTIONS: You can register for more than one math program

1. The Escape Room: Addition and Subtraction Option or Multiplication and Division Option

For one exciting week, young problem-solvers will dive into an interactive math adventure! Whether tackling addition and subtraction or multiplication and division, students will be taught how to ‘pull apart’ word problems in a fun, escape-room-style experience designed for those who love challenges.

Each day, they’ll work together to solve puzzles, riddles, and hands-on activities, unlocking clues to reach hidden treasure. Along the way, they'll strengthen their math computation and conceptual skills, develop critical thinking, and build perseverance—all with the guidance of expert tutors.

By week’s end, students will not only master essential problem-solving strategies but also gain confidence in applying math to real-world situations, setting them up for success beyond the classroom.

2. Math Marketplace Camp: Fractions, Decimals & Percentages in Action!

Step into the exciting world of shopping and smart spending at Math Marketplace Camp! This hands-on, week-long adventure transforms math into a real-world shopping experience where students earn and spend "math money" while mastering fractions, decimals, and percentages.

Each day, students will take on new challenges—running their own stores, making savvy purchases, and calculating discounts, sales tax, and change. Through interactive activities, engaging games, and creative store simulations, they'll strengthen problem-solving skills and bring math to life in a fun, practical way.

With expert tutors guiding the way, students will build confidence in applying math to everyday situations. By week’s end, they’ll not only sharpen their understanding of fractions, percentages, and decimals but also develop valuable money management skills for the real world.

3. Geo-Art Math Camp: Exploring Geometry & Angles Through Creativity!

Get ready for a vibrant, hands-on adventure at Geo-Art Math Camp! This unique camp blends geometry with art, transforming mathematical concepts into stunning masterpieces.

Each day, students will tackle exciting projects that explore geometric shapes, symmetry, patterns, and angles. From designing mosaics and optical illusions to constructing 3D sculptures, they’ll see how math shapes the world of art. Through hands-on exploration, they’ll measure angles, apply transformations, and strengthen their spatial reasoning.

Guided by expert tutors, students will build confidence in geometry while enhancing creativity and problem-solving skills. By week’s end, they’ll take home a collection of math-inspired artwork and a new appreciation for the beauty of geometry in everyday life.

4. Interior Design Math Camp: Exploring Area, Volume & Perimeter!

Calling all future designers! At Interior Design Math Camp, students will bring their creativity to life while mastering area, volume, and perimeter through exciting, hands-on challenges.

Each day, they’ll take on real-world design projects—planning bedrooms, theme parks, or game rooms—using math to calculate floor space, measure walls, and determine materials for paint, flooring, and décor. Through interactive activities and blueprint creations, they’ll apply math in fun, practical ways.

Guided by expert tutors, students will strengthen problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and their understanding of math in design. By week’s end, they’ll take home their own creative masterpieces!
