Summer@Levine Summer Program for Ages Six to Twelve The 1 st Grade to 6 th Grade summer camp will complete its third year at the end of the summer of 2021. It offers educational elements in an informal setting. Each day campers are offered a sport, creative arts, and STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) option. Fridays are reserved for field trips around the Metroplex. These experiential learning programs are designed to engage campers, enhancing their knowledge and skills. Playing an active role in the learning process leads to campers experiencing greater depth in learning. Social interactions provide much-needed soft skills that are important later on in life, such as listening to others and learning how to keep long-term friendships. Interaction among social groups also provides a sense of belonging, which is very beneficial once the school year begins. In the summer of 2020, Levine offered (free to families) core academic programs, with instruction delivered virtually, in the areas of language arts, math, and Hebrew. The school will continue to offer this “Academic Boot Camp” for the last week in July— this time it will be live, in-person instruction. This will remain a free service to our families, giving our students an opportunity to be ready for their upcoming grade beginning in August. Rentals throughout the Year at Levine Birthday Celebrations were a great hit before COVID. Parents would often rent out our facilities on the EC side on Sundays. Levine Academy offers outside groups to rent out our facilities. Several institutions have housed or partnered with our school during the summer and through the school year, including:
• Texas Torah Institute • SMU Summer Camps • Camp Invention • The Jewish Community Center of Dallas
Strengths of Auxiliary Programs
◼ A wide variety of ages served. ◼ For Early Childhood, the consistency of having camp provides an easy transition to fall. ◼ Smaller class sizes, which the parents love so we can give each child, individualized attention.
