HARP offers an extended program during the summer after the 4th of July for four weeks from 8 AM - 2 PM with a four day school week from Monday through Thursday. The purpose of this extended school year program is to ensure that our students maintain their skill level and provided consistency in their routine, as it is a priority to prevent a significant regression in their learning. It is not a requirement that students participate, but HARP is able to offer this extended program for those students deemed eligible.

 

This summer program thus is a continuation of services, with the same staff, the same learning structure and the same educational goals. HARP runs this program in more of a summer camp style: we run classes in the morning from 8 to 11 AM, and then take learning to the community level with recreational and leisure activities in the afternoons. HARP also adventures to Storrs Pond every Monday where the students go swimming. In these recreational activities, learning still takes place alongside fun and enjoyment.
