The Pilgrim Collaborative provides an extended school year program during the summer months for the Learning Skills, Developmental Skills, Transitional Skills, and Pilgrim Academy Programs. Many students continue PAC services from their 10-month school program, but students do not need to be enrolled in PAC programs in order to be eligible to attend summer session. However, all students enrolled in PAC summer programs must be referred for services through the Special Education Director of their respective home school district.

The Pilgrim Academy Summer Session is designed to offer students academic support in order to maintain learned skills. The Academy Summer Program is scheduled for five weeks beginning in early July and ending in mid-August. The program operates Monday through Thursday from 8:00 - 11:30 AM. Summer classes are located at the Pilgrim Academy in Plymouth and are staffed by Academy teachers, paraprofessionals and counselors.

The PAC summer program for Learning Skills, Developmental Skills and Transitional Skills classes is also a five-week program scheduled from early July through mid August. Program hours are 8:00 AM to 1:30 PM, Monday through Friday. Program classes are located in member district schools and are staffed by special and general education teachers, nurses, therapists and paraprofessionals.

The curriculum for the PAC Summer Programs focuses on structured academics, communication, fine and gross motor skills and social activities which enable students to practice and maintain learned skills. Using "summer themes," the daily routines and learning activities from the school year are closely followed. Familiar teachers from the school-year programs provide summer staff with information geared to prioritizing goals and objectives, which are targeted for reinforcement during the summer session. The PAC Summer Program maintains students therapy services in speech & language, occupational therapy and/or physical therapy through small group, class group or consultation delivery models.

Each Summer Program class is offered opportunities for trips into the community such as the zoo, museums and other places of local interest. Classes also participate in either swimming trips at area ponds and beaches or water play activities. All trips in the community are well supervised by teachers, therapists and paraprofessionals. All classes participate in art and music activities during the week as well. Community trips and activities provide opportunities to reinforce and enhance students skills in the areas of cognition, behavior, communication and social emotional growth.

During the final week of the summer session in mid August, the staff members plan special activities to help celebrate the conclusion of the summer program. Games, outdoor activities, special snacks and artwork exhibits are some examples. At the conclusion of the Summer Program, teachers and therapists write summer updates that summarize each student's achievements during the five-week session, which are shared with the school year teachers.
