Overcoming education interruptions by repairing the gap and getting back on track is top of mind right now for many parents. Ability School offers children ages four to twelve a unique opportunity to have a great summer while enhancing their academic skills! 
 
Working on individualized programs in the mornings, students can advance in subjects like reading, writing, science and math, allowing them to explore areas of interest or get ahead in a subject that they find challenging.  Afternoons are spent celebrating and enjoying all the fun that summer has to offer! Activities like, hiking, sports, swimming, outdoor games, art and field trips are included in themed weeks (Outdoor Adventure, Space, Budding Artists, STEM, Drama & Music, Animal Adventure, and Sports).

We recognize that there is a huge need for quality summer camps in the community.  More importantly than ever we need to get our kids back involved with sports. Being stuck indoors with so many restrictions has had us all cooped up.  Let’s get back on the field playing the games we love so much, even better, how about making some new friends in the process.  Our main focus is to keep our campers engaged with fun sports and exciting activities. Let us share our passion of sports with you and your family this summer!
