Get Ready at Camp READY!
The Learning Resource Center promotes learning in Polk County with a wide variety of programs. Camp READY! is one of the programs this summer that will help a young student be prepared for kindergarten.
As a teacher, and once a kindergartner, I know that being self-confident is an important aspect for success your first year of school. Camp READY! will prepare students through a multi-sensory summer program.
Albert Einstein said, “Learning is experiencing. Everything else is just information.” Through Camp READY!, young students will experience their learning through their eyes, their ears and their hands.
Camp READY! gives students the opportunity for success in their first year of school. Camp READY! sites include: Bartow, Fort Meade, Frostproof, Haines City, Lake Wales (two sites), Lakeland (two sites), Poinciana and Winter Haven.

Now Enrolling: Camp READY! Summer 2016
Camp READY! dates are set for Summer 2016.
If you have a rising or repeating kindergartner, make sure they’re prepared for academic success by enrolling them in the Learning Resource Center’s annual kindergarten-readiness program. On average, Camp READY! students have shown growth of seven months from pre- to post-assessment in just four weeks.
Through hands-on, experiential learning centers lead by qualified teachers, students will experience learning that is fun!
With art, music and movement, cooking, and reading-readiness centers, Camp READY! builds pre-reading skills while also providing a safety net to allow children more time to continue motor, social and cognitive development. Teachers will engage students in themed rich language-laden lessons, while also providing learning opportunities for parent involvement at camp and at home.
The program is designed for students entering or repeating kindergarten in August 2016.
This year, Camp READY! is scheduled to take place at ten campsites throughout Polk County. Each camp will last a total of four weeks, Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. (with the exception of Poinciana & Ft. Meade) Dates vary by camp. (See below)
The cost of camp is $25 for the month and includes a shirt. If this fee causes a financial hardship, please call LRC at 863-688-9477 to discuss scholarship options.
