2024 Summer Reading Camps

At Hope Haven, we believe in unlocking every child's potential through the power of reading. Our "Unlocking the Code of Reading" camps are designed to do just that—help your child discover the logic of the English language, enhancing their reading, writing, and comprehension skills. Our camps prioritize personalized attention by limiting group sizes to 12 students. This ensures each child receives the support and guidance they need to thrive. We offer sessions for rising kindergarteners through third graders, with specific weeks dedicated to different age groups. Each week-long session runs from Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM, at a cost of $395, including a $50 nonrefundable deposit. Although each session covers similar skills, the materials vary to ensure a fresh and engaging experience for students attending multiple sessions. Early registration is encouraged to secure a spot in these exclusive sessions.

Children learn best when they engage all their senses. Our multisensory approach combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning strategies to help your child connect sounds with letters, form words, construct sentences, and ultimately, build paragraphs. This multisensory method not only reinforces language fundamentals but also makes learning fun and memorable.

Session Dates for Rising Grades

  • Rising K through 2nd Grade:

    • Week of June 3

    • Week of June 10

    • Week of July 8

    • Week of July 15

Join us at Hope Haven to embark on a journey of discovery and learning. Unlock the Code of Reading is more than just a camp; it's the beginning of a lifelong adventure in reading and comprehension for your child. Before joining, we invite you to schedule a consultation to discuss your child's academic needs. This step ensures our program aligns with your child's learning journey, including any IEPs or evaluations you can provide. Spaces are limited, so early registration is advised to ensure your child's place in this transformative experience.
