Slip and slide. It's a hoot on a hot summer's day. Unfortunately, it’s also what happens to a child’s social and academic skills when school doors close for the summer. Ask any teacher, they’ll tell you kids lose as much as two months of reading and math skills in the weeks between the last and first days of school. Research shows most kids lose a bit over the summer, but low-income kids lose the most because they lack engaging summer activities. Many of those same kids also miss out on healthy meals. |
We hope that you will give generously to our camp fund today. Help us make sure the only slip and slide going on this summer is just another fun activity between face painting and making memories with friends.
