Two Programs. A summer of fun.
The Enrich & Empower Summer Camp is Iron Village Preparatory Academy’s signature summer experience—a joyful, full-day program where learning feels meaningful, hands-on, and alive.
Designed for rising first through 8th grade students, Enrich & Empower blends project-based learning, creativity, movement and community-building into an engaging summer rhythm that keeps kids curious and connected.
The BOOST Academic Bridge Program is a two-week, half-day experience designed to help students reset, refocus, and relaunch academically before the school year begins.
Rather than remediation or test prep, BOOST focuses on the skills that make school work smoother: reading stamina, problem-solving, organization, math confidence, and executive functioning. Students review essential ELA and math skills, strengthen routines, and practice persistence—all in a supportive, small-group environment.
