Killeen ISD offering free summer learning resources
KILLEEN, Texas - Killeen ISD is offering free summer learning resources to all students.
The district says the variety of optional enrichment resources are to help close any learning gaps and combat the traditional summer slide. The activities are optional and in addition to the full-day, free summer camps the district is hosting over the summer break.
ELEMENTARY SUMMER RESOURCES
At the Elementary level, the district is hosting STREAM Camp, Camp Pursuit, Camp Invention, and Camp Accelerate for current first through fifth-grade students. Each camp is a free, full-day camp that will engage students in hands-on activities and creative thinking.
