Summer advantage usa: Summit54 continued its partnership with summer advantage usa to combat summer learning loss. Through a 5-week summer program including rigorous academic instruction, physical fitness, enrichment programs, and extra-curricular activities, students gain an average of 2.5 months in both math and reading skills.

In 2020, the organization created a new outdoor tutoring model enabling small groups of elementary students to enhance their academic learning during school closures due to the covid-19 pandemic. Today, in partnership with roaring fork school district, Summit54 provides free in-class tutoring throughout the school year to hundreds of students annually. Students are selected based on need and monitored for academic growth through existing measures.
