The Guadalupe Centers Summer School Program provides a safe, secure, and instructive environment for participants. We strive to maintain academic readiness, plan engaging, exciting, and culturally relevant enrichment projects, and to provide character-building opportunities.
During the hours of 7:30 am-12:30 pm, participants are with certified instructors studying a variety of different locales. First grade will focus on their hometown while grades 2-8 will explore cultures from around the world. Students will travel from Egypt to Rome, Greece to Africa, and down through Latin America. While journaling their adventures, students will be immersed in rich literature and fluency practice. In math, the focus will be on helping to prepare students for their upcoming grade level by ensuring they have the foundational skills needed to understand new concepts they’ll see when they return to school.
In the afternoon, Youth Workers will plan projects that tie directly back to the morning lessons of the day. There will be enrichment and cultural arts activities, life skills, hands-on science experiments, arts & crafts, outdoor recreation, intramural athletics opportunities, nutrition/culinary sessions, and weekly field trips. This summer will also include an emphasis on STEM projects, hands-on science experiments, and opportunities for students to hear from local experts in various STEM-related fields.
The GC Summer School Program culminates with the World Fair at each program location. Students will present information showcasing all they learned during the summer to each other, their families, special guests, and community members. There will be scheduled performances, building tours, and food tasting for all to enjoy!
We will be closed on Friday, July 3rd to observe the 4th of July Holiday
