Discovery Advantage Camp
Discovery Advantage Camp is for students entering Grades 6-8 in the fall.

Duration: 4 weeks, 3 days per week
Eligibility: Students entering Grades 6-8 in Fall 2024-25

Discovery Advantage Camp is tailored to meet the diverse needs of our students. It offers a range of enrichment, hands-on learning, and recreation options, ensuring that every participant has access to activities that align with their interests and passions. By empowering students to independently choose their daily activities, the program fosters growth in areas that they are passionate about, thereby promoting self-discovery and personal development.
By offering a supportive environment where students can explore their interests and receive the academic and social support they need, Discovery Advantage Camp plays a crucial role in nurturing well-rounded individuals who are prepared for the challenges of middle school and beyond.
Scholarships are available for students who qualify under the free/reduced lunch program, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder participation.
For those interested...sign up sheets are available in the main office to bring home to parents.

Above & Beyond is helpful for students who would benefit from a quiet, supportive environment to support completion of assignments or to practice concepts to reinforce learning.
Above and Beyond is from 3:00-4:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Media Center.
