SUMMER 2025 RECAP

As summer comes to a close, we’re reflecting on an incredible season of learning, creativity, and adventure across our AlphaBEST programs. From exciting field trips to hands-on STEM innovation, our summer camps gave students the opportunity to stay engaged, curious, and connected. Here’s a quick look at what made this summer one to remember!

Summer Excursions

AlphaBEST's Summer Excursions brought the excitement of themed learning right into local districts, blending indoor and outdoor activities around new weekly themes like Sole Designers, where students explored sneaker design through hands-on experiments in traction, performance, and creativity.

These themed weeks helped students think creatively, develop problem-solving skills, and stay engaged all summer long. This year, we operated 87 sites, serving over 7,452 students across 16 states.

Going Places

Our Going Places specialty camps, created in partnership with FableVision and based on the award-winning Going Places book, offered hands-on STEAM activities combining engineering, science, art, drama, and physical games.

Each week, campers tackled new challenges that built creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. This summer, we ran programs at 5 locations, with over 800 campers and a dedicated team of 35 staff—nearly half of whom returned from previous years!

iCamp

New this year, iCamp brought a high-energy, hands-on STEAM experience to students through weekly sessions focused on coding, robotics, digital art, science, filmmaking, video game design, and more.

Over the course of 12 weeks, the program ran in 7 locations, reaching 250+ campers per week with engaging, tech-driven challenges that sparked creativity and innovation.

Thank you to our families, educators, and staff who made it all possible.

Here’s to another year of learning, leading, and inspiring young minds.
