Camp Jemicy, a co-ed day camp for students ages 6 – 11, first opened in the summer of 1994. The five week program    provides an ideal summer opportunity for children who struggle with reading, writing, spelling, and/or math to reinforce and build upon the skills and knowledge they have acquired, and minimizes the risk of regression. Operated by Jemicy School, a leader in the education of children with dyslexia or other related language-based learning differences, Camp Jemicy combines a tutoring program that uses creative, multisensory, research-based techniques with traditional camp activities to create productive, fun-filled days.
 

Five days each week, children receive language and math tutoring using a structured sequential approach. Each student’s individualized program is created to complement his or her learning style and academic needs. Recreational activities enhance athletic and social skills while building self-esteem and promoting personal growth. Campers may explore a stream’s ecosystems, grow a garden, engage in cooperative games, or take swimming lessons at a local swim club. Other activities include field trips, ropes, pottery, hiking, arts and crafts, games, dramatics, and much more.  Additionally, there is a thematic unit that weaves through both the academic program and the traditional, fun camp activities.
 

Jemicy takes great care to select a staff comprised of mature and imaginative men and women who enjoy working with young people. Tutors are trained in various multisensory reading programs approved by The International Dyslexia Association.
 

Camp Jemicy takes place at our Lower and Middle School Campus. The 2010 camp session will run from Monday, June 28th through Friday July 30th. Full-day, half-day, and extended care options are available. Enrollment is limited, so parents are encouraged to apply no later than April 1st for the coming summer.
