Learning and growing this summer

Harry Hoag School is buzzing with activity during Summer Math and Literacy Camp, which offers grades K-5 learners lots of opportunities to learn and grow while reinforcing and building upon skills gained during the school year.

Campers engage in literacy and math activities that deepen their understanding of core grade-level concepts. Science, math, English, technology and more come to life through educational – and fun – days at camp. Social skills grow, friendships are formed, and learning earns a top spot during school vacation.

The free camp meets mornings in July and August, with meals provided, and many students also sign up to spend the afternoon in the Fort Plain Summer Recreation Program, also located at Harry Hoag School. There’s a lot to do at our school!
