Importance of Summer Programming “Studies suggests that all types of summer learning programs can mitigate summer learning losses and even lead to achievement gains. Moreover, longitudinal studies conclude that the effects of summer learning programs endure for at least two years after the student has engaged in the summer program.” McCombs, J. S., Augustine, C.
