A Summer of Fun

Students will embark on local adventures to the beach and amusement parks, enjoy a day trip to vibrant Boston, and experience thrilling shows right here in East Haddam. These shared experiences are designed to create lasting memories, fostering social successes and encouraging the development of lifelong friendships. Through engaging in exciting activities together, students will not only have a blast but also build a supportive community that enriches their summer journey.

The Franklin Difference

Summer at Franklin is a unique program designed with your child in mind! Unlike other summer programs that focus on just one area of development, we take a holistic approach to nurture the whole student. Our student-centered, assessment-driven framework ensures that we not only teach essential skills but also help students apply these skills back at their schools or at Franklin Academy. With a safe and inclusive community, our trained staff understands and appreciates neurodiversity, providing the perfect environment for students to grow socially and academically. This summer, your child will not only build vital skills but also gain lifelong tools to navigate various transitions in their educational journey, all while making meaningful connections with peers. Join us for a transformative summer experience!
