Unlock PremiumThe regression in math and reading skills that occurs when kids don't practice over the ~10-week summer break. Studies show 2–3 months of learning loss without engagement.
Research supports 2–3 hours per weekday of structured learning — mixing camp, reading, and workbook practice — to prevent regression. Full academic summers can cause burnout.
Day camps: $200–$500/wk. Specialty camps (tech, arts): $300–$700/wk. Sleep-away camps: $700–$1,500/wk. Sibling and early-bird discounts often knock 10–20% off.
Reading — hands-down. Free at the library, correlates with reading level, math, and long-term academic outcomes. 30 min/day is the sweet spot.
For a specific gap (multiplication, phonics, algebra prep) — yes. 1–2 hours/wk for 8–10 weeks with a good tutor costs $360–$900 and can close a full grade level.
