NRTA summer groups are a great way to bridge the gap over summer vacation. Summer groups also allow for intensive practice of a specific skill. This year, with the extended break from school, summer groups are more important than ever. Groups will be offered virtually and if possible in person with social distancing guidelines. We will stay in close contact with our families so we can provide safe groups that everyone feels comfortable with.
