The Explore 30 Program seems rather interesting and I’m curious if anyone in our group has considered or is actually participating this summer. I think we can all agree that we need to find new ways of keeping camp relevant but how do we incorporate what seems like such an academic type activity into our every summer day schedules. My first thought is book club activities or a cabin time activity but that’s just me. Any of you have some other ideas or ways to incorporate a program such as Explore30 into our camp programs?
Sound off in the comments.
The Challenge
During the summer children experience “summer learning loss” when they are not involved in high quality programs with opportunities for skill building. As a result, young people can forget up to 2 months of academic instruction, particularly in the areas of reading and math when they are not in school.
