Expanding Your Summer Program
By Sarah Green
2
Common Problems 1. High cost for students 2. Finding students
3. Engaging students
3
Lowering Costs “Public funds are more likely to support afterschool than summer programming…Public policy that effectively supports the growing field of summer programming has yet to be developed” -Funding scarce and competitive -Summer Food Service Program -No Child Left Behind funded programs -Alternate field trips
4
Finding New Students -Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) -Listservs -Referral Credits -Nearby schools, day cares -Canvass the community
5
Developing Your Program
Constantly reevaluate! Enrichment not remediation Comprehensive curriculum Don’t be over-ambitious, focus on themes/topics Integrate fun, informal learning lessons Parent involvement! Collaborate with home schools of students
