Academics

Our two-hour Academics Workshop runs Monday through Friday mornings for campers enrolled in our Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Friends camps. The goal is to foster a love of learning while helping students master and move beyond important grade-level skills. The curriculum we follow was authored by experts, refined by teachers, and designed for diverse students. To ensure campers get the most out of this workshop, campers may miss out on some of the other daily activities.
