ELIM SAFE SUMMER ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
The goal of the Elim Safe Summer Academic Enrichment Program (ESSAE) is to increase your child’s academic knowledge using Common Core curriculum based instruction in reading, math and the sciences. Weekly learning adventures and activities will broaden your child’s knowledge of the world around them and improve functional and social skills.
Our campers will visit the Kensington pool during designated times to cool off with fun activities, lessons and games. Children will plant flowers and vegetables while learning how plants form and function. Harvest from the garden will be used to create healthy snacks for our campers as they learn healthy eating alternatives and habits.
Weekly fieldtrips will provide opportunities for exploring new interests and ideas. This summer we plan to visit: Strong’s Museum, The Buffalo Zoo, The Buffalo Science Museum, Art museums, Becker Farms, Niagara Falls, The Erie County Fair, Darien Lake, Canal side, the Central library and much more……
