Summer Camp

Learning and play merge at Benchmark Camp!

Benchmark Camp is a transformative experience that provides an academic boost as well as a summer of fun for children in rising grades 1-6. Benchmark Camp builds executive function skills, self-esteem, and confidence and is especially beneficial for bright children with dyslexia, ADD/ADHD, or other learning differences.

Setting up for success

Campers in the five-week program, which includes Benchmark's internationally recognized language arts program, are set up to create success. The combination of individualized teacher support and personal goal setting lays the groundwork for huge confidence boosts. Kids are in class with other kids who are similar to them, both in terms of skills and age, which makes them willing to take risks. 

Beyond the Classroom: Awesome Recreation

Campers love the recreation program, which includes: 

  • Swimming
  • Art
  • Crafts
  • Robotics and activities in the Innovation Lab
  • Sports and games

In addition, we challenge and support our Benchmark campers as they take on our 35-event Confidence Course, which includes a 40-foot high, 250-foot long zipline.

All of these elements make it a summer filled with learning, creating, and fun!

"The program was amazing. Our son's progress has improved dramatically; his confidence is through the roof. The teachers and counselors did an amazing job! Thank you."
