Summary

Camp Connect ran at McLeod School in July, serving 210 students and reducing the wait list to zero by the third week. Organizers said registration opened in January and closed when grade‑level slots filled (application closed early April). The program collected parent and student feedback via surveys.

Camp Connect leaders reported to the Englewood Board of Education that the summer program hosted 210 students at McLeod School and eliminated the wait list by the third week of camp.

Presenters described weekly field trips, coding and makerspace activities and a curriculum designed to mix play and enrichment. The camp team said they issued surveys to both families and students after the final day of camp and followed up two weeks later via email to increase response rates. The presenters said registration opened in January and the district closed registration once grade‑level seats were filled (the program staff said slots were full by early April); there was no open registration for mid‑summer starts.

The camp leads said they monitored demand and reallocated seats by shifting capacity from upper grades with lower take‑up (grades 7–8) to younger grades where demand was higher (they added an additional second‑grade class, for example). The board thanked the Camp Connect team for their work; a board member asked how the district gathered parent feedback and the presenters said they had survey results and follow‑up data.

No financial details for Camp Connect (cost to the district, fees or external funding) were provided in the presentation on the record. Presenters offered to share survey results with the board and answered questions about registration timelines and wait‑list management. The board commended the program and asked staff to provide the survey data in a follow‑up.
