FAQ & Policies
Summer Camp FAQ:
My child loved Lemonade Stand last summer, can she take it again this year?
Yes! Every summer we thoughtfully change content and curriculum. Campers who have taken a class before will be introduced to new material, deepening their understanding. We are always ready to level up returning campers as they grow in expertise!
Will my 5th grader be learning the same material as a 1st grader?
No! Content and curriculum are intentionally differentiated for campers based on their age and experience. We meet children where they are to keep them engaged, excited and challenged. Middle school camps reflect a curricular complexity and sophistication appropriate to engage this age group.
Power Hour FAQ:

Yes! Grupology will provide grade and ability appropriate learning plans for math, reading and writing based on the student intake form.
At check out, parents will complete an intake form so our educators can best serve each learner.
