Yes Sylvan, please share your list.

Our program continues with most classes during the summer.  Some classes are
closed for the summer and  Family Literacy has shorter hours. We close the
entire program for two weeks at the end of June/beginning of July and again
for two weeks at the end of August.  If we close longer than 2 weeks we lose
students, so the two short breaks and closing some of the classes is
financially the same as closing all classes for 6 weeks.

Okay, I know it's December, and most of us aren't thinking about summer
programs, but I'm assisting a program that is looking to improve their
retention across years by doing a summer program to meet their students'
needs more closely.

Here in Oregon we did a survey of different ways that programs do summer
activities, and came up with a list of various options, many of which were
quite creative. I'd like to hear from other programs here on the list about
what you do during the summer. If you like, I think it would be okay to
share the list generated by our coordinators as well.
