Orton-Gillingham: Camp Delafield utilizes the Orton-Gillingham approach to tutoring: clinically proven teaching strategies that build upon each student’s life skills to make life-changing improvements. Each lesson’s success determines the next lesson’s content. Orton-Gillingham is rooted in decades of neurological, psychological, and educational research kept current through continual refinement. It is proven effective and well-respected in schools and clinics throughout the state of Indiana.
Camp Tuition: $2,400. 10% is due upon acceptance. The remaining amount is due one month prior to your camp session.
