Four Things Camps Can Do to Address Summer Learning Loss
Four Things Camps Can Do TODAY
1. Make reflection an intentional part of each day. Provide a journal to each of your campers and integrate journal sharing into your campfire programs. Learn more.
2. Start an "Explore 30" reading program at your camp, where each camper spends 30 minutes reading each day (during rest periods, free time, or before lights out).
3. Use Nature Circle Cards to create reflective, engaging moments in or around nature. Learn more about these cards.
4. Connect with your local libraries, civic organizations, or faith-based organizations for book donations to start a camp book club or camp library.
