Please see the available summer camps offered by WAAS teachers. The various camps are designed to give the students an academic and social jumpstart into the school year. I highly recommend that new students participate in the summer camps because it will allow the teachers to become better acquainted with the students, and it will provide students with opportunities to meet their teachers and classmates.
