Camp Curiosity - Stopping Summer Brain Drain

Researchers say that kids can loose up to 30% of school year learning during the summer months. Parents say that kids can become difficult and frustrating during the summer as they slip further and further into what can be best labeled as Brain Drain. But what is a parent to do? Kids are tired of worksheets and formulaic learning. And parents are so overworked that coming up with exciting things to learn each week seems like The Impossible Dream.

Camp Curiosity is the perfect solution.

Researchers claim that active learning is the best way to retain information. We only retain about 5% of what we see, so active learning, using all our senses, playing at activities is the way to retain. See learning pyramid here.
