Elementary Summer School Programming

This summer, the kids of America SCORES LA are staying busy and staying active. We are offering a summer camp free of charge for about 100 SCORES poet-athletes. The camp started on Tuesday, July 6th and will continue until July 30th. Monday through Friday, the kids are being engaged both in the classroom and on the soccer field.

Inside, the kids have already learned about the World Cup and they've chosen a participating country to represent. With markers, paint, and crayons the SCORES students made flags for their country and came up with interesting facts to write on the back. On the last day of camp the kids will proudly march their flags around Palms Elementary and enjoy a multi-cultural fair with food from all around the world. There are also stations available everyday in the classroom with volunteer tutors who provide homework help and activities for the kids in math and reading.

Outside, the kids are improving their soccer skills by breaking up into small groups for games and drills and coming together for scrimmages. Summer camp provides the student-athletes who play with their school team during the SCORES season with the opportunity to meet and play with kids from other elementary schools in the Palms community. On Friday, all of the kids look forward to playing outside as the coaches incorporate some way for the kids to get wet.

The summer programming wouldn't be possible without the help from all of our volunteers. Mainly high school students and alumni, the volunteers act as assistant coaches, homework tutors, and mentors for the SCORES elementary students.
