"After COVID, my daughter struggled to read. We tried multiple programs to help her catch up and nothing gave her that push. She attended Arts and Science Literacy Camp and was given extra tutoring and her reading just exploded." - Parent of Camper
Making a Difference in Milwaukee
|
While our beloved Milwaukee community faces significant challenges—with only 13% of elementary students reading at grade level—ASL Camp tells a different story.
At our camp, 50% of our 1st-8th graders leave at or above proficiency in reading, showcasing the effectiveness of our integrated approach. For ten years, ASLC has proudly served over 4,200 learners from across Milwaukee County. Our vibrant community includes students from diverse backgrounds: 33% Black, 16% Latino, 10% Asian, and 41% white, with 15% of students at or below poverty level. We particularly excel at supporting neurodivergent learners—45% of our students receive special education services and have IEPs. |

"Camp is a place where I feel free to express myself...
it's a safe place to be me!" - Camper
Our Whole Child ApproachASL Camp embraces a "whole child" model that addresses all aspects of literacy: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Weekly themes provide a framework for arts-integrated projects that promote literacy growth while engaging students' creativity. Our approach goes beyond academics to support social-emotional learning, teaching conflict resolution strategies and effective communication skills.
