Summer Camp Sites

We are currently serving 400 elementary and junior high aged children and 150 service learning adults each summer. Youth of all ages enjoy our summer day programs, which include structured and creativity stimulating activities spanning various art and recreation venues.

Each day is a new adventure as youth participate in games, songs, crafts, and presentations that affirm their spirits.
