MATTAPOISETT— Superintendent Michael S. Nelson and Assistant Superintendent of Student Services Dr. Jaime Curley are pleased to announce that registration is open to students of all grades for an educational summer recreation program called Summer Adventures in Learning (SAIL), which is now being offered for the 18th year by the Old Rochester Regional School District and MA Superintendency Union #55.
Available slots will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. A completed online registration form, online health form, and a check for the tuition fee, if applicable, must be submitted for each student by June 4, 2025.
The program is held at the Old Rochester Regional High School, running for six weeks, broken into two, three-week sessions. Held on Tuesdays through Thursdays, from 8:30 a.m. to noon, Session A will run from July 1 through July 17 and Session B will run from July 22 through Aug. 7.
The tuition is $225 per student for each three-week session, or $450 total to enroll a student in both three-week sessions.
Each session offers participating students a choice from a variety of exciting courses designed to keep students learning and having fun during the summer. Grade levels associated with all courses refer to student placement as of August 2025.
Course titles include “Learning Through Sports,” offering an education while working out both the mind and body; “Creative Minds, Creative Writing,” exploring the elements of a story, teaching students about imagery, similes, metaphors and personifications; “Summer Sports Squad,” delving into the history and mathematical concepts that are essential to the roles of a sports analyst, journalist and athlete; and “Living Creatures,” blending biology, mathematics, art and English, while discussing everything from molecules to microbes, and mice to mammoths.
A full course selection, online registration, health forms and additional information can be found on the school district website by going to www.oldrochester.org/summer-sail-program.
The program is being led by SAIL Co-Directors Kyle C. Letendre and Charles West.
