Porter Academy Summer Camp

Testing shows that many students lose academic skills over Summer Break. Our goal with Porter Academy Summer Camp is to prevent that from happening while providing a fun summer day camp experience. Our summer camp is open to new or returning students only.

Porter Academy Summer Camp offers integrated cross-curricular thematic units. Academics are integrated into fun activities, as well as taught in a more formal small-group setting each day. Activities integrate reading and math with science, social studies, art, social skills, and cooperative games. Students also receive occupational therapy and music therapy twice a week.

Our program is further enhanced by in-school enrichment activities provided by outside professionals such as Adam the Juggler and Party Animals Atlanta.

The Program

• Pre-kindergarten through fourth grade
• Low student to staff ratio of 7 to 1
• Groups of 3-5 students meet for academic enrichment classes based on their age and skill level
• Social skills are developed through teamwork activities and practiced throughout every activity
• Our integrated curriculum ensures that reading, writing, and math skills are developed in creative ways throughout both the morning and afternoon sessions

Morning Session: 9:00-12:30

• The morning focuses on academics to maintain and build skills in reading, language arts, writing, and math.

Full Day: 9:00-3:00

• Full Day combines both the morning and afternoon sessions to give your child both academics and specials such as art, physical education, music therapy, and occupational therapy.

Students are completely immersed in one theme each week. The 2018 session dates and themes are:

• Week 1 June 9-13 – Disney Days
