Camp I Can with Credit Completion
Camp I Can with Credit Completion for grades 9 and 10
As a two-part program, Camp I Can with Credit Completion helps students earn a credit that they previously failed to achieve as they develop the learning skills needed for academic success.
What is taught?
In the Camp I Can program, students are actively involved in their learning as they complete tasks involving reading, writing and mathematics. The aim is to improve work habits, including organizational skills, team building skills, taking initiative and completing homework.
