DS7 has had a great year in first grade. He has been in school continuously since he was four except for a week each for spring, summer and winter break. He has asked to enroll in a summer day camp instead of school this summer. He will spend his week days swimming, hiking, kayaking, working in a garden, doing crafts, playing games, etc. There is also a marine touch tank there. He is very excited. With commuting, it will be about a 12 hour day for him. So I expect his evenings will be for just eating, reading a bit and then going to sleep.
So he's definately doing this camp but I've realized he might be going almost 3 months without doing much math, writing, etc. Will he lose skills? Can this be avoided?
I don't think there must always be forward academic progress. He will likely learn a great many important things at camp. But he has dyslexia/dysgraphia/dyspraxia and I don't want to see him lose any of his hard earned skills.
Thoughts?
