Camp Ignite 2026
MAPS Camp Ignite is designed for rising incoming 1st-grade through outgoing 5th-grade students. This free, targeted summer program focuses on strengthening math and literacy skills through the exploration of career-based learning pathways.
Each week offers an active and engaging, theme-based experience. Students will participate in hands-on activities, games, guest speakers, and field trips as part of their learning. This combination of academic instruction and experiential learning supports student engagement, accelerates learning, and helps prepare students for the upcoming school year.
