Camp iRock

Camp iRock

Camp iRock is an intensive 8-week program that focuses on reading remediation work, character building, and physical activity. The camp includes transportation to and from camp; breakfast, lunch, and snacks; high quality reading instructions in small group environments; swim lessons; field trips; and traditional summer camp games and activities. In 2019, a pilot program was put in place in School District 1 with a 100% success rate! All 65 students earned the privilege to advance to the 4th grade. Based on the success of Anderson School District 1, Women United has chosen to expand the Camp iRock program across our county. This camp will be a partnership with United Way, Anderson University, Anderson Area YMCA, and Anderson County School Districts 3, 4, and 5. The camp just had its inaugural summer in June of 2022. This project has the potential to make change for generations to come and provide endless possibilities for our Anderson County children to achieve the highest success! According to famous author Dr. Seuss, “The more you will read, the more you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go.”
