Description
Each summer since 1992, rising 4th - 6th grade at-risk students participated in a summer enrichment camp with the goal of improving academic performance and developing character. The camp is held for 4 weeks during the summer at local private school campuses. Students learn test taking strategies and receive instruction in 4 academic areas: math, science, English, and reading. Students are pre-tested and post-tested to track progress. Students also enjoy classes in swimming, drama, basketball and dance. In 2019, approximately 150 students participated in the summer program.

Description
Since the spring of 2004, Time to Rise has tracked students participating in the Time to Rise program. The Case Manager works with school guidance counselors to stay informed of relevant issues affecting students and also makes routine visits to homes to communicate with parents. Through this process, the Case Manager develops intervention strategies for each student. In 2005/06 we plan to offer educational lectures for parents on relevant subjects including recognizing depression in youth, how to structure the home environment for academic success and test taking strategies. One of the immediate benefits of case management was the tracking of former Time to Rise students who matriculated to college in the fall of 2005. Of the 30 students served as 5th and 6th graders in 1999, 15 are currently enrolled in four year colleges. Several have garnered academic distinction including one as the 2005 Valedictorian of Maplewood High School.
