LACC Summer Camp

​

Since 1992, the LACC has proudly operated a state-licensed Summer Camp, dedicated to serving children from low-income working families. Our camp, which ran for ten weeks in 2023, welcomed 142 children aged 5 to 12, ensuring their summer days were both fun and educational. Operating Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., we strive to bridge the educational gap often experienced during the summer months.

​

Recognizing the critical role of high-quality summer learning, our camp features an array of programs designed to foster academic growth. This is particularly vital for children from low-income families who may lack access to educational resources. Our enriching activities include a STEM partnership with the University of Delaware, our engaging Book Nook Literacy program, Summer Collab Reading Buddies, the Nemours Brightstar! Early Literacy program, and a hands-on curriculum that focuses on reading, math, and STEM, aligning with Common Core Standards.

​

Beyond academics, our students enjoy field trips to parks and museums, participate in various sports, and every child learns to swim. With studies showing that 50% of learning loss occurs over the summer, LACC is committed to ensuring that learning continues year-round. Join us in making a difference in the lives of children, helping them to not only retain knowledge but also to explore new horizons and unlock their full potential.
