Cobbs Creek Academic Bridge Program

On Monday, July 17th, we launched our four-week full-day Academic Bridge Camp, an innovative program focused on children from the Cobbs Creek community. The camp, which is completely free to all participating families, started at WPACES from July 17th to July 28th, and moved to the Overbrook Education Center from July 31st to August 11th.

Thirty children, recommended by their teachers, will be participating in each two-week session. This careful selection process ensures we provide a targeted, impactful educational experience for each child.

Each camp’s day begins with two academic enhancement sessions – ‘Magical Math’ and ‘Cosmic Writers‘. In these modules, children in second, third, and fourth grades engage in creative and inspiring activities designed to bolster their academic skills.

After a nutritious lunch generously sponsored by three local businesses, the afternoon transitions to a set of creative and character-building modules: ‘Character and Crafts’, ‘Mad Scientist’, and ‘Leadership and Games’. As we wrap up the second week of our camp, we’re thrilled to see a 99% joy factor among our participants!

But the fun and learning don’t stop when summer ends! We’re committed to maintaining the educational momentum through the school year with our after-school Math Club. This program, held twice a week at two partner schools, is designed to reinforce and enhance the math skills that students have learned during the camp.

Our end goal is to provide a continuous, year-round educational experience that complements the regular school curriculum and helps our students excel. As we conclude our four-week Academic Bridge Camp, we look forward to a wonderful start to the upcoming school year!

Thank you for your continued support.

And, as our camp t-shirts say, “We are more than a golf course!”
