A LOT OF LEARNING LOSS HAPPENS IN THE SUMMER.
It’s known as the “summer slide” and as a result, students often return in the fall forgetting critical reading, writing, and thinking skills that will have to be reviewed — or retaught all together!
BUT - THERE’S GOOD NEWS! IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY.
Yes, students DO need a break from the structure of a school schedule and have the chance to relax, spend extra time with family and friends, and enjoy the beautiful weather.
However, if they go an entire summer without activating their brain - they will often inevitably “slide” back a grade level (or two!). However, we can put a few preventative measures in place to help keep the summer slide at bay.
LINKTIVITIES ARE HERE TO HELP KEEP STUDENTS’ MINDS ENGAGED AND THEIR BRAIN CELLS ACTIVATED…
…by providing them with learning experiences that feel more like playing and exploring!
INTRODUCING: Around the World
It’s a virtual summer camp experience where students can join in from anywhere, at any time. From the depths of the ocean to the far reaches of space—and everything in between—this adventure is ready whenever they are.
Students love learning about new places and spaces, so we've complied some fascinating locations on Earth (and beyond!) into a fun interactive experience using LINKtivities!
Students will travel the world to learn about…
Space
Sharks
Sunken Ships & Treasure
Amusement Parks
Paleontology
Caves
Baseball
World Wonders
And while they are busy exploring through video, audio, text, interactive digital features, and more - they’ll be keeping their minds fine-tuned and sharp!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The LINKtivity Learning Summer Camp is a self-paced, 8-week summer learning program (although students can go at a slower or faster pace to suit their needs!).
Each week provides campers with a new high-interest topic that kids will explore through an interactive LINKtivity. (Includes 8 jam-packed LINKtivities, one for each week, with bonus activities to complete each week, or at their own pace)
Campers explore the weekly topic through a variety of multimedia: video, photographs, audio, and interactive digital features, and MORE!
Then, students are invited to take their learning off-screen with additional related learning experiences that encourage them to go outside, create art, check out related books at the library, create STEM projects, and even bake!
We've also included over 30 extension activities that align with the content in the LINKtivities that students can complete throughout the summer!
No two weeks are the same, so your students will always have something to look forward to!
The best part is there's very little for YOU to do! Simply pass the done-for-you Family Letter with all the links and summer camp resources on to your students' families and your kiddos will be off to the races!
INSIDE EACH LINKtivity, STUDENTS WILL:
Dive into the topic by exploring the fact files
Watch kid-friendly videos that bring each topic to life
Continue their exploration through engaging pictures, fun facts, and interactive elements
Embark on a Google Earth virtual tour to a location connected to the topic
Exercise their funny bone with jokes related to the topic
Choose to complete optional extension activities—mostly offline, fun, and requiring minimal materials
WHAT DOES THIS VIRTUAL SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE INCLUDE?
8 LINKtivities, one for each topic listed above
30 extension activities to accompany the topic! Activities include things like: STEM activities, art, book exploration, podcast listening, writing prompts, crafting, and even baking! These activities are accessible directly from the LINKtivity which means NO EXTRA PREP for you!

The Around the World Summer Camp Experience is completely self-paced. However, the content has been designed to be spread out over the summer. With a total of 8 themed LINKtivities, we suggest completing one LINKtivity each week. This includes completing the content inside the LINKtivity plus the additional extension activities that correspond with the content in the LINKtivity. Within each LINKtivity, there are 4 categories to explore and a total of 5 extension activities. Students can expect to spend 20-30 minutes each day on Summer Camp. However, please note: some of the extension activities will require additional time.

There's nothing complicated about this summer camp - just a ton of fun!
