United Way of Northern Arizona — Deadline Extended to May 17 for KinderCamp™

Deadline to Enroll in KinderCamp™ Extended

KinderCamp is a signature early education initiative coordinated by United Way of Northern Arizona with local school districts. It is held during the month of June and facilitates successful transition for students going into kindergarten who have minimal preschool experience.

If you know anyone whose child could benefit from KinderCamp, we ask that you share this message with them so they can learn more.

In KinderCamp, students learn much more than their letters and numbers. They also get familiar with the daily routine of kindergarten, eating in a cafeteria setting, and working cooperatively with other students. The biggest transformation for these students, according to their parents, is their increased confidence and excitement about starting school.

A survey of parents indicated that children’s KinderCamp experience improved their knowledge of letters and sounds of the alphabet, made them better able to socialize with other children, and increased their ability to communicate with adults.
