CREW Camp:

Summer School & Enrichment Program

CREW Camp Summer School & Enrichment Program

In an effort to assist parents in reducing the “summer loss of learning,” RSPA’s CREW Camp Summer School Program” returns for students in grades 2nd -7th.  The goal of the program is for students to work with teachers on skill-based activities to keep them sharp for the upcoming school year, while providing a balance of fun enrichment activities brought to you by our 21st Century Program. 

The activities are designed to be a review of material from the past school year and have been pulled from our current reading and math curriculum, so they should be familiar to you and your child. This should also limit the time teachers spend “reviewing and re-teaching” skills from the past year.  This summer, we will focus on events and activities focused around a STEAM curriculum. Our scholars can look forward to programs such as Culinary Arts, Music Class, Drumline Camp, Visual Arts, STEAM activities, Tech Enrichment, and Physical Education.

We’ll have several field experiences that students will be involved in throughout the summer, plus an exciting parent-family engagement event in June.  To participate, attendance and behavior will be taken into consideration. We can not do this without your support. We are excited to welcome your scholar on Thursday, May 29, 2025, at Rhodes School for the Performing Arts for our CREW Camp Summer School.

Research indicates…

  • All young people experience learning losses when they do not engage in educational activities during the summer. 
  • On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months. Some students can lose about 2 months of reading achievement. 
  • The international average of the number of days a student attends school is 193 days.  Rhodes School for the Performing Arts students attend school for 177 days. If we are going to keep pace globally it is important for our students to be engaged academically over the summer months.
