Summer’s here, and a lot of parents are wondering: How do I keep my child busy without screens? With devices all around, it can be tricky. But it’s also a great chance to get creative, have fun, and make some awesome memories, reconnect with themselves and the world around them.

Every parent dream of raising confident, capable, and intelligent children. But what if the key to unlocking your child’s full potential isn’t in expensive tools or high-tech programs, but in one simple, powerful daily habit? That habit is reading. And reading is not just about books, it’s about building a foundation for lifelong learning.

Summer loss, also known as the summer slide, refers to the learning loss that students may experience due to lack of academic engagement or enrichment activities during the summer break. When school resumes, many children experience a lag in their academic progress, needing time to relearn previously covered material.

Summer fun is in full swing as Arise ‘n’ Shine’s Camp Discovery kicked off this April, welcoming children aged 2 to 12 for a joyful season filled with learning, laughter, and adventure.

As the summer months approach, parents often look for ways to keep their children engaged, active, and learning beyond the classroom. One of the most valuable options for young learners is attending a summer camp. Summer camps offer much more than just a break from school—they provide an opportunity for children to explore new interests, acquire fresh skills, and recharge their batteries for the upcoming academic year.

For the past 22 years, Arise ‘n’ Shine’s dedicated team of women have been instrumental in shaping and growing the organization with unwavering commitment and strong leadership. This International Women’s Day, they took a moment to honor the incredible women who have contributed to making Arise ‘n’ Shine the thriving organization it is today.
