Our Out of School Days and seasonal camp (Winter Break Camp and Spring Break Camp) programming is a renewal of our commitment to Out-of-School Time recreational programming, and encompass a broad range of focus areas including academic support, mentoring, youth development, arts and sports and recreation. These programs support schools in improving childhood health behaviors and development. Communities and businesses also benefit when youth have safe and productive ways to spend their time while their parents are at work.
Out of School Days, Winter Break Camp and Spring Break Camp provides children and youth in grades 1 through 8 with a safe and engaging environment, which incorporates hands-on activities. Activities will effectively adapt to individual and small group needs, connecting with participants’ interests and experiences including: academics and enrichment, community service projects, field trips, physical activity and nutrition.
