What the week actually is

Summer math loss is real and it compounds — students lose roughly two months of grade-level equivalency over a summer with no practice. A math camp week is not remediation, it is a reset on the belief that math is something done to you.

Day by day

  1. Diagnostic — find the earliest gap
  2. Rebuild the missing step

Can it help before a placement test?
Yes, though the honest answer is that eight weeks of daily practice beats one camp week for test outcomes.
