Summer Programs
Summer Programs: Build Confidence, Deepen Skills, and Prevent Learning Loss
Summer is more than a break; it’s an opportunity. At Fraser Academy’s Outreach Centre (FAx), our Summer Programs are intentionally designed to keep young minds engaged, inspired, and growing. Research shows that without continued learning opportunities, many students experience “summer slide,” losing valuable ground in academic skills.
Our programs help learners of all ages maintain momentum, build confidence, and return to school with stronger reading, writing, math, and executive function skills; all in joyful, supportive environments where differences are celebrated and every learner thrives.
Summer Camps: Enjoy Enriched Learning and Fun
Our Summer Boost Camp offers a dynamic two-week experience for students entering Grades 2–8. It is ideal for students who benefit from rich academic reinforcement in a supportive, small-group setting. This camp provides Language Skills Development, where each day includes focused instruction in literacy. Students can receive 1:1 Orton-Gillingham tutoring or join small group writing skill sessions, both rooted in proven structured literacy approaches. Our engaging, small group classes (max ~8 students) nurture curiosity, collaboration, and confidence.
STEMphilic Camp is perfect for students who want to explore and innovate through project-based STEM experiences. STEMphilic Camp provides hands-on learning in small group sizes to ensure individualized attention and deeper engagement.
Summer Boost Camp
Through carefully structured morning sessions, students build foundational academic skills in language arts, math, science, art, music, outdoor education, and more, blending curriculum support with hands-on exploration.
STEMphilic Camp
In our afternoon STEMphilic Camp, learners continue the day with inquiry-based STEM activities. From coding and robotics to creative math and science projects, learners take part in hands-on activities that challenge thinking and spark curiosity.
Parents can choose between half-day and full-day options, spanning two weeks or the entire month.
Small Group Learning Sessions: Focused Skill Development
Big growth can happen in small groups. These focused, two-week sessions empower students to build essential skills that will support them long after summer ends.
The Writing Lab
Over two weeks of daily small-group sessions, students strengthen core writing competencies — from idea generation and structure to clarity and voice — in engaging, supported workshops.
Executive Function Bootcamp
In a parallel two-week small group format, learners build key executive function strategies, including organization, time management, task initiation, and academic planning. These skills not only support school success but also lifelong learning habits.
These sessions are carefully sequenced so families can enroll in both writing and executive function programs back-to-back for a comprehensive summer learning experience.
One-to-One Learner Programs: Personalized Skill Building
Our individualized programs give learners targeted, responsive support tailored to their unique needs. These sessions focus on foundational skills, deeper understanding, and long-term confidence.
Orton-Gillingham (OG) Instruction
This structured, multisensory approach helps learners strengthen reading, spelling, writing, and handwriting in a way that meets them where they are and supports their growth.
1:1 Math Essentials
Build core mathematical foundations with explicit, multisensory mathematics instruction that closes gaps and fosters a growth-centered confidence in math.
NILD Educational Therapy
Through individualized educational therapy, students develop critical thinking, memory, academic processing, and problem-solving skills. This approach nurtures clearer thinking and academic fluency across subjects.
Executive Function Coaching
Support for organizing, planning, prioritizing, and self-regulation skills. Learners will gain tools to empower them to work smarter and with greater independence in academic and life tasks.
Each program is delivered in one-on-one sessions with expert educators and specialists who know how to spark progress and build academic resilience.
