Horizons at Rumson Country Day School has operated on our campus for twenty-one years. Each summer, Horizons offers a six-week academic, cultural and recreational enrichment program to at-risk students from a diverse, low-income population. Our students are in grades K-8 and live primarily in the Red Bank, NJ area. Horizons' goal is to offer more than 225 students the opportunity to attend Horizons during the summer.  

Goals

• To prevent or reduce summer learning loss amongst Horizons students
• To foster lifelong desire for learning
• To provide cultural experiences and social growth
• To insure that all Horizons children learn to swim, an important life skill that saves lives and builds confidence

Volunteers

Volunteers are an essential component of the Horizons programs.  Volunteers support our professional teachers, offer cultural and recreational programs, and assist our chef in providing nutritional meals. Many RCDS alumni and their parents serve as volunteers to the Horizons children. Volunteer applications for Summer 2016 are now available.

Support

Horizons is able to operate thanks to the generous support from Rumson Country Day School, community-minded individuals, foundations, corporations and other charitable organizations. The cost of sending one child to Horizons for the summer is approximately $2,200.

Accomplishments
