Every summer, we facilitate our summer enrichment camp for 55+ youth, which this year will run from July 9th to August 17th , every weekday from 8:00 a.m. to 12 p.m. Our summer camp benefits children in many ways, including providing them with a safe place to learn and play. Last year our summer camp attendees were able to:
- Stay mentally stimulated by attending daily programming
- Spend their day being physically active by participating in our sports activities
- Take a deep dive into newfound skills
- Build lasting relationships with other camp attendees and camp mentors
- Express themselves creatively
- Gain self-confidence
- Complete the Mayor Summer Youth Reading Challenge
- STEAM Programming ( Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Mathematics)
Our summer camp is for children in grades K-6. All participants will take part in daily programming that involves STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) and participate in sports activities. We will also provide free food for all children.
We have also partnered with the Mayor Summer Youth Program to provide jobs to the youth and partner them with mentors that will teach them labor skills that will help them be successful in future employment endeavors.
