YMCA Summer Learning Academies are designed to give students the opportunity to stay on grade level and prevent summer learning loss. Summer learning loss can negatively impact students and cause them to struggle when they return to school in the fall. Summer Learning Academies help students build confidence and positive relationships. Students have the opportunity to learn and have fun through hands-on activities, experiments, swimming, field trips, and more.

SLAs are five (5) week programs for students entering grades 1 through 5.
