Also, many of my students have increased their ability to work with technology. I feel like I know more about my students than in any of the previous summers I’ve taught for AG Gold Camp. For example, we’ve really strengthened our relationships with the kids due to a smaller student to teacher ratio this summer. Sayoni Bond, another AG Gold camp instructor and CPS elementary teacher added: “With this hybrid model, we’ve experienced many successes.
I think that it is pertinent that we provide our children with opportunities to feel connected to something of value, as many of them have felt misplaced for months.” AG Gold camp’s summer hybrid model is giving children on the southside of Chicago a piece of what the school and community partnership has looked like in the past. It brought a lot of uncertainty, trauma, and disconnects. With a focus on youth development and fine arts activities, students built self-esteem, developed interpersonal skills, and made lasting friendships and memories.Īmanda Martin, AG Gold camp instructor and current Chicago Public Schools (CPS) special education teacher, said: “The 2019-20 school year took away a lot from our kids, academically and socially. The enrichment programming included gardening, yoga, dance, choir, and much more. The goal was not only to make sure students are prepared for school this fall, but also to provide a space where they can develop socially and emotionally. This model provided students the opportunity to receive personalized tutoring and one-on-one attention while adhering to health guidelines set in place by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) as well as the state and city. Students were able to take part in small socially distanced groups to receive high-quality math and literacy instruction. The camp platform allowed students to receive virtual supplemental education services four days out of the week and one scheduled in-person meeting with a teacher, to assist with concepts needed to be ready for the next grade. This year, in the midst of coronavirus (COVID-19), GAGDC took on the challenge of adapting to a hybrid camp to ensure this treasured summer experience continued. GAGDC and ISU CTEP have been collaborating on the AG Gold summer camp experience for the past decade, innovatively creating an enriching, fun, and safe space for students in kindergarten to eighth grade each summer. KPC understands that this is an ever changing situation and will continue to keep the KPC community updated of any changes in plans.The Auburn Gresham Gold Schools initiative is a collaboration between the Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corporation (GAGDC) and several strategic partners including Illinois State University Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline (CTEP). *The pool is open at the discretion of Northeastern Illinois University. All KPC staff will wear face coverings while on the pool deck and face shields while in the pool. Locker rooms will be properly sanitized daily. We will limit the number of swimmers in the pool at any given time. NEIU Facilities cleans the bathrooms throughout the day Swimming All groups will remain within their sections in the pool. We use a hand held electrostatic cleaner. Needless to say we wash hands after using the restroom:) Sanitizing KPC cleans all equipment at the beginning and end of the day as well after each rotation. Face Coverings All staff and campers will have the option to wear face covering indoors and outdoors with the exception of the following activities: Snack or lunch time (we will remain 6 feet apart) During Swim or Water Activities Any outdoor activity that we can remain 6 feet apart Hand Cleaning KPC will have hand washing stations positioned throughout camp and campers and staff will wash hands following group activities and eating. Health Screening All campers/families will receive a daily health screening form that must be submitted prior to arrival at camp. A copy of vaccination record must be on file in the KPC offices by June 1, 2023. 2023 Safety Measures These Safety Measures will be flexible based on the status of Covid Vaccination All campers/staff are REQUIRED to be fully-vaccinated (have received both doses of the vaccine) in order to attend camp. KPC will continue to adhere to the best health and safety standards and from our local and national health departments and will adjust accordingly to the situation.
That was due in large part to the incredible partnership with our families and the dedication of all the KPC staff.
