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
  3. Apply it to something physical
  4. Speed and fluency, made a game
  5. Showcase: teach it to a younger camper

Questions we get from Washington, DC

Is this catch-up or enrichment?
Both, run in the same room. The diagnostic on day one decides which each child gets.

No. There are no worksheets that do not lead somewhere.
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.
