A unique combination of adventure, academics, and fun!

Brehm’s Summer Program is a holistic, four-week overnight and day program for students ages 8-18 with learning differences.

Located in the beautiful and natural learning environment of southern Illinois, area trips and activities inspire camaraderie and self-confidence as students engage in learning experiences that capture their imaginations and make learning fun. These immersive and transformative experiences allow students to break out of their usual routines, gain fresh perspectives, and make new friends.

Orton-Gillingham, speech-language therapy, and college preparation are integrated to advance students’ academic, social, and emotional skills. Our students will learn to better understand themselves, their peers, and the world around them.
