Your kid will make a friend. They'll also build a bridge.

TCS Summer Lab is a two-week program where kids move, create, and practice the skills that make the school year easier, in a setting built for how their brain actually works.

A day at TCS Summer Lab

Morning starts with an Academic Foundations challenge -- building something, testing something, making something. Not a worksheet. A real problem with a real outcome.

Then Movement and Wellness Lab: dodgeball, water activities, nature walks. One full hour where the only goal is to move and have fun.

In between and woven throughout, students are working on the skills that show up everywhere -- how to handle losing a game, how to ask for help, how to stay in it when something gets hard.

Every activity runs on the TCS Bucks system. Students earn dollars for showing up, following directions, and using their skills. Bucks get spent on snacks, prizes, and choice time. It works because it's concrete, it's consistent, and kids actually care about it.

Built for kids who learn differently.

TCS Summer Lab is designed for students in grades 3-8 who thrive with structure, benefit from smaller groups, and do their best when the environment meets them where they are.

If your child has an ADHD diagnosis, a learning difference, or an IEP, or if you've simply noticed they do better in the right setting, this program was designed with them in mind.

It's not therapy. It's not tutoring. It's a summer program that takes seriously how these kids learn, move, and connect.

The same system that works during the school year.

TCS's token economy isn't a summer experiment -- it's the same research-backed reinforcement model used in our classrooms year-round. Students already familiar with TCS will hit the ground running. New students pick it up within a day.
