When you think about the summer, what comes to mind? Now try and think about what school meant as a child to you? For most children, it means no classes and more importantly no homework. However, that is not the case for all children. In fact, a new program called Camp Compass, children are learning all summer long.

Camp Compass is a summer learning program that is useful.

Camp Compass is a free camp that expands over the course of six weeks. The camp is run by a local non-profit organization and provides low-income academic support to help bridge a gap that may be created over the course of the year. The program is also a camp so the students are fed, play games and even go on field trips.

  2. While going to Camp Compass, the children are fed, play games, go on field trips, learn leadership skills and make new friends.
  3. The goal of Camp Compass is to preventing summer learning loss and narrow the achievement gap between low-income students and their wealthier peers.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
