Snoqualmie Valley School District offers several summer learning programs, including a Summer Bridge camp to help student retain what they’ve learned and prepare for the coming school year, Camp Invention to inspire confidence in curious children, and Si View Summer School Camp, to complement summer school students’ schedules.

According to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, Professor of Psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia, when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they’ve lost up to three months of learning.

The district’s Summer Bridge program is for students in grades K-8, with sessions on math, language arts and on the transition from Kindergarten to first grade. Sessions are three weeks long, and cost $225.

Camp Invention, for grades 1-6, lets children design and build their own inventions, including video games and racers. There is also a daily hydro challenge during the weeklong camp. Cost is $245, but people who register before March 20 will get a $25 discount.

Summer School Camps at Si View are scheduled around the hours of summer school to give students a full day of enrichment. Camp sessions include  Slippery, Sloppy and Splattered, Happiest Place on Earth and Once Upon a Time. Si View also hosts a junior leadership development program this summer, designed to give students hands-on experience as a leader.
