PLEASE REVIEW: JA SUMMER CAMP PARENT PACKET

DAY 2: Summer Learning Loss

Studies show that children learn best when instruction is continuous. Experts have found that the summer vacation breaks the rhythm of instruction, leads to forgetting, and requires a significant amount of review of material when students return to school in the fall. Talk with your child about this study and why camps like JA are important.

DAY 3: Desire for instant gratification in a fast world

Research and planning for your future is an important skill which requires significant time and energy.

Children should participate and spend a significant time researching and planning for their future before entering the 10th grade. Studies show when compared to other developed countries, the American people are more prone to wanting instant gratification and that this behavior leads to our children being bore and wanting to be entertain rather than enjoy long exercises where they create the entertainment. Ask your child about solutions for boredom and how he/she deal with it.

DAY 4: Importance of Positive Networking

Please explain to your child the importance of getting to know positive, like minded people and to encourage you to meet the parent. Our objective is to get students learning early to understand the importance of networking with people with similar values, which is important for entrepreneurship/workplace and to individual future success.

DAY 5: Please complete our survey - Entrepreneurship is a mindset

We are excited about helping parents and youth reach their potential. Please complete our survey so we can continue to create life-changing programs parents desire. (survey will be sent later)
