Free Summer Learning Program K-5

Adventures in Learning, the FREE summer learning program run by the county and held at Cottage Hill, is now accepting referrals.  AIL is an 18 day program from June 10-July 20 (no camp July 3-4) that provides hands on activities and experiential learning opportunities in reading/literature, math, and science.  It is designed to prevent the "summer slide", or the loss of skills over the summer vacation.  The program runs Monday through Friday 8:30-1:30 and includes a morning snack and a healthy lunch.   If you are interested in this program, please stop by the office to pick up a referral.
