Five-week Academic Program

The Academy's five-week summer session is a co-educational program that balances academics and recreation for a fulfilling experience. Designed especially for students in grades 7-10, the academic program helps students prepare for their upcoming school year and for the academic experiences that lie ahead in secondary education.

Our session is designed to assist and enrich students with daily monitoring of academic performance, individual attention, and a supportive faculty. Our class sizes are small (an average teacher to student ratio of 1 to 10) in order to provide each student with a personalized arena in which to explore his or her potential. In the evenings, students participate in a mandatory proctored study hall where further assistance from their teachers is available. Afternoon activities, special events, and weekend excursions allow each student the opportunity to take a break from scholastic responsibilities to experience lasting friendships. Students attending the academic session share a common desire to spend five weeks improving their study skills, strengthening their educational backgrounds, and having fun.

Courses

Students pick four courses that will comprise their summer schedule. Courses offered include: English, creative writing, essay and study skills, basic mathematics, pre-algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, geometry, English as a Second Language, Spanish, general science, oceanography, biology, world history, United States History, art, computers, drama, journalism, media arts, radio broadcasting, photography, speech communications, music technology. Credit classes are available.

Two and Three-Week Recreational and Sports Based Camps

Our two and three-week recreation and sports based sessions, Camp Pacific, has been providing campers with unforgettable memories since 1943. Camp Pacific continues to provide a safe and fun summer experience for youth ages 8-16. During our sessions, we focus on teamwork, sportsmanship, and fun. Campers may choose to participate in a wide variety of exciting activities (listed below). Through activities, campers learn new athletic and recreational skills, gain self-confidence, and are encouraged to develop strong friendships while working with their peers. Thrilling trips to area attractions such as theme parks and professional sporting events are offered each session as well.

ESL (English as a Second Language)

Each year Camp Pacific has a nominal amount of campers from around the world. These campers have the option of participating in an English as a Second Language course as part of the morning activity. There is an additional fee for our three-week campers to take this course. Our five-week academic session offers ESL classes as part of the curriculum.
