From Brainfuse HelpNow comes the Summer Skills Camp, available for students in Elementary School (grades 3 - 6), Middle School, and High School.
The purpose of the Skills Camp is not to provide a comprehensive survey of each academic topic or to overwhelm students with information, but to focus on areas that are academically significant, generated the most tutoring questions over the course of the school year, and do not require a significant time commitment over summer vacation.
 
Research shows that even spending a small amount of time on academics over the course of the summer makes a difference.
