We recognize that summer is a very busy time for families, and we are not trying to overwhelm anyone. Our goal is simply to provide options to help keep learning going over the break. If your child is unable to participate, we completely understand. These opportunities are offered as a support, not an expectation. Weβre just proud to offer meaningful ways for students to stay engaged.
We also understand that some families may be interested in multiple camps, and that may require prioritizing based on your schedules and availability. Please note that all summer programming will conclude by the end of June, as the District will begin several major summer facility projects in July.
Transportation will be provided for the camps/programs being held at the Windber Area High School. Transportation will not be provided for the Physical Fitness Challenge Camp as well as the Environmental Camp, as they are at Camp Hamilton.
π Summer School Programs
For students in need of extra academic support, we will once again offer:
- Elementary Summer Acceleration Camp β Focused on reinforcing key skills and helping students stay on track.
- Middle and High School Summer School β Providing students with the opportunity to strengthen their learning and prepare for the next school year.
ποΈ Both programs will run for three weeks in June, supported by dedicated teachers working closely with students to ensure success.
