SUMMER CAMP
Inspire Growth and Service
Why This Camp?
Our youth engage in team-based service experiences that build life and work skills, while inspiring a lifetime ethic of service.
-
Our program runs all year and we offer at least 70 opportunities to actively engage in the community, which includes a full summer camp-style experience that are either free or at minimal cost.
-
Our focus is on providing various opportunities for youth from all walks of life and abilities to be able to give back, learn and access experiences they wouldn’t normally have access to.
-
Open to youth ages 11-18
