Pittsburgh Public Schools calls its summer school, Summer Dreamers Academy.
More than 1,500 students, mostly in elementary grades, get to attend a 27 day "summer camp" at no charge. The morning starts with an all camp meeting and then two academic periods -- literacy and math. The afternoons are for different activities.
A favorite activity since 2010 has been SKWIM & Water Polo.
In 2020, ISCA helped to sponsor the cyber swim camp experience. Lesson plans, photos and insights from throughout the years are archived in a wiki, Info on digital badges, connected writing, quizzes and the online course is now being harbored as a service at the ISCA Library, see Read.SwimISCA.org.
Students from Camp Langley got to swim at PCA. In 2020, the aim was to have the camp be at PCA, as Camp Classical. We''ll get to swim soon enough.
