KEMPA’s summer workshop is like no other

Spring 2009 UpdateThis is a place where the staff is family, even with intergenerational members. Past student attendees graduate to counselors and teacher aides, and then go on to become classroom teachers and advisers who send their students to Summer Workshop.

Class sizes are always small with plenty of personal attention and support. Differentiation isn't just a trend – it's a way of doing business at KEMPA. When a teacher finds out a student needs some background to understand what's being taught, we have people on the spot ready to help the individual learn and get caught up.

This summer's info:

Place: UW-Whitewater campus in southeast Wisconsin
