Summer Day Camp

Objectives of Summer Day Camp

• Keep at-risk youth off the streets and in a safe environment, enabling campers to use their time constructively during the summer, and enabling caregivers to find and maintain steady employment;
• Assure campers readiness for school in the fall by providing daily reading and math review for all ages;
• Provide a caring environment, which demonstrates respect for all people and service to the community;
• and Build awareness of violence prevention and alternative conflict resolution.

Summer 2008  marks the Camp’s 15^th year, and it is another successful year. Each week campers ages 5-14 enjoyed activities and learning focused on the theme "Oasis".

Campers participated in many activities including:

• swimming
• tennis lessons
• field trips
• special events
• daily reading and math review

Our Community Action Teams of 13 and 14 year olds performed community service and volunteered at the Philadelphia Food Bank. The Community Nurse taught proper nutrition, sun safety, and administering first aid.
