Create the perfect balance of academ-ics and fun for your child by selecting a morning academic camp and adding an afternoon art, swimming or sports camp. Our popular academic camps are a great way to review, maintain and enhance skills introduced in the previous school year.

At Summer at Barstow, you can select our six-week morning camp for your child in grades 1–5 or our four-week morning camp for your child in grades 6–8. We offer three levels of academic camps for grades 1–4 and two levels of academic camps for grades 5–8.

Readiness camp is designed to provide extra help and reinforce crucial skills to prepare your child for the grade level they will enter in the fall. The next level, Skill Sharpener, is a great choice if your child needs to review and maintain skills learned during the previous school year. Finally, the YOUniversity camp is designed to offer your child a “sneak peek” into the next grade level and provide enrichment.

The curricular emphasis in each of these camps focuses on individual skill develop-ment and learning strategies in language arts and math. Each camp maintains a low camper-to-staff ratio. The camp will have a teacher as well as a teaching assistant allowing campers to advance at their own pace. Open communication between par-ents and teachers is encouraged. Progress updates will be available during the third and sixth week of camp for grades 1–5 and at the fourth week for grades 6–8.
