Private Academic Summer Camp in Montgomery, AL
Summer in Alabama may be hot, but at Better Than Average (BTA), we keep minds cool, sharp, and ahead of the curve. While school takes a break, learning shouldn’t. Our Private Academic Summer Camp is a premier, full-day program specifically designed to protect your child from the “summer slide” and prepare them to lead their class in the fall.
At BTA, we don’t just “babysit.” We provide a private, intimate learning environment where primarily rising 1st–4th graders (Ages 5–11), with rising Kindergarten and 5th grade students, are eligible based on assessment.
Why BTA is the "Smart" Choice for Summer
Our camp is intentionally designed to bridge the gap between school years. We focus on foundational English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, blended with STEM activities, arts, and creative projects.
What Your Child Will Experience:
-
Youth Book Club: An inviting space to foster a lifelong love for reading.
-
Literacy Mastery: Strategies in comprehension, writing, and vocabulary.
-
Math Foundations: Building strength in numbers, operations, and algebraic thinking.
-
Critical Thinking: Connecting literature and logic to real-world contexts.
-
Creative Enrichment: Hands-on STEM projects and arts that spark innovation.
- And More… Campers will also receive take-home resources that reinforce what they learned throughout the summer, allowing families to continue supporting progress beyond camp.

Our Montgomery, Alabama-based summer camps are led by highly experienced and qualified Instructional Staff who love what they do. As locals, we take a special interest in helping kids in our community excel. We know how much summer learning loss can affect students of any age—up to one month of lost knowledge when skills aren’t practiced. But we also know that summer is an important time for kids to make friends, have fun, and explore their creativity.
Our summer camps are designed to support learners of all ages and abilities with hands-on experiences and a nurturing environment. Whether your child struggles throughout the school year or needs extra enrichment to keep them feeling challenged and inspired, BTA is a great place to be! Come see what makes us the recognized Best Tutoring Center in Montgomery for the past two years and one of the highest-rated tutoring organizations in Alabama.
We are currently filling the remaining seats for our summer camp. To maintain quality, enrollment is intentionally limited.
Many of our campers return to school performing above average, with stronger confidence and skills than their peers.

Most local camps provide supervision; we provide transformation. Our campers enter the new school year more confident and prepared because they have spent their summer mastering grade-level standards in a supportive environment.
Camp dates vary depending on the year but typically run from early June to late July. Camp is held on weekdays (Monday through Friday) from 8:00am to 2:00pm. Campers will receive a free T-Shirt and 2-3 snacks per day. All campers will be expected to bring their own lunch each day.
We like to lead with value first. As we determine the details of our Summer Camp we will come back here to update this page with pricing information and how to register. Inquire about our upcoming camp by contacting us!
All campers must be dropped off and picked up by a parent/guardian or other approved persons. All campers must wait in their vehicles until a staff member approaches. All campers must be signed in and out before entering/leaving the premises.
