What is HOLA?
Hale partners with schools to provide a variety of high-quality education and camp programs that positively impact youth. HOLA is one such program. Studied by both RAND Corporation and the National Institute on Out-of-School Time (NIOST), HOLA uses best practices and proven methods to create fun, educational and memorable summer experiences.
HOLA is comprised of two projects, both of which blend academic content taught by certified teachers with traditional camp activities such as swimming, boating, climbing, archery, and more.
The first project is the HOLA Summer Learning Academy (SLA). Hale, Boston Public Schools (BPS), and Boston After School & Beyond collaborate to deliver this five-week experience. The program is free and more information is available through participating schools:
- Channing Elementary School, Hyde Park
- Chittick Elementary School, Mattapan
- Clap Innovation School, Dorchester
- William Ohrenberger School, West Roxbury
- Henry Grew Elementary School, Hyde Park
- Russell Elementary School, Dorchester
- Curley K-8 School, Jamaica Plain
- Phineas Bates Elementary School, Roslindale
The second project is the HOLA Match Project. Hale collaborates with Match Education to deliver this four-week experience. The program costs $100 and financial assistance is available. More information is available through Match Charter Public School.
Registration for both projects opens soon. To learn more and be among the first to apply, submit your information by clicking here.
