      Even though COVID-19 has limited the number of summer opportunities for kids, we wished to recreate a similar experience online that focuses both on fun and academics.At Tigers online, kids can play interactive games, pursue their academic interests, use their creativity to make crafts, and stay healthy through exercise, all while creating new memories.

      As the summer comes to a close, Tigers online has extended their services, adding in a tutoring section, where old campers and new friends can navigate new academic challenges and obstacles with fun, engaging counselors.
