Q & A with Adelante Schools
What makes your camp unique?
Adelante Schools is in the early planning stages of its summer program, with a vision for a joyful experience rooted in the same values that guide the school year: community, leadership development, and hands-on learning. As a neighborhood anchor year-round, Adelante is exploring how to extend that mission into summer programming that serves scholars and families.
What activities are offered?
Program details are still being finalized, but Adelante is considering a blend of academic enrichment (literacy, math, and STEM activities) and athletic clinics, along with arts, music, and outdoor play. The goal is to keep scholars engaged while still having fun. More specifics will be shared as offerings are developed.
What is the camper-to-counselor ratio?
This is still being determined as the program structure is built. Adelante is committed to maintaining safe, supportive ratios that allow for individualized attention. Details coming soon.
How much time do campers spend outside?
Adelante values active, outdoor play as part of healthy development. The final schedule is still being developed, but outdoor time will be a priority in the program.
Does the camp provide lunch/snacks, or do parents need to provide them?
Meal plans are still being explored, including the possibility of leveraging Adelante’s scratch kitchen partnership with A Longer Table, which serves students during the school year. More details will be shared as plans are finalized.
What is the typical daily schedule?
Adelante is currently designing the daily schedule and will share a detailed timeline once the program is confirmed. Families can expect a structured day that balances academic activities, physical play, and creative enrichment.
How old are the counselors and how are they trained?
Staffing plans are in development. Adelante is committed to hiring qualified, trained staff who align with the school’s mission and values, with appropriate background checks and child safety protocols in place.
What accommodations are made for campers with special needs?
As a K-8 public charter school, Adelante Schools serves diverse learners year-round and is committed to inclusive programming. Specific accommodation details for summer camp will be finalized as the program structure is developed.
When will summer camp details be finalized?
Adelante is actively working on summer programming plans and expects to have confirmed details by late spring 2025. Families who want updates can visit the Adelante booth to connect, join the mailing list, and learn more about Emma Donnan Elementary & Middle School.
