With data showing that the pandemic has caused students to struggle with social isolation, mental health and learning loss, Eureka Summer Camp was developed with the intent of focusing on improving the whole child’s academic and emotional wellbeing. As parents and long-time educators, we have seen firsthand the academic and emotional impact that the pandemic caused. After reflecting on the aftermath of the pandemic, we decided that we wanted to use our knowledge, experience, and passion for student success to combat these issues. We designed an intervention program that integrates key math, writing, and literacy skills (for grades 1st - 8th) into a summer camp program. Through engaging experiences and activities our focus is strengthening these skills to promote academic success for the upcoming school year.
