Camp Blodgett

Camp Blodgett STEM Academy: 33 children entering 5th through 8th grades attended this 4-week summer program. Participants had three hours of academics (focusing on science, technology, engineering, and math) taught using experiential, hands-on involvement and innovative methods. For the remainder of the day, participants enjoyed traditional camp activities such as swimming, archery, and workshops. The goal of STEM Academy is to provide vulnerable children with the opportunity to reverse the effects of summer learning loss and realize academic achievement. Year-round STEM programming for 109 participants included STEM Squad Saturdays, after-school partnerships with local school districts, and a robotics club; all of which feature STEM activities that are skill-building and fun.

Young Leaders: 102 teens ages 14-17 participated in various leadership opportunities and outdoor adventures which focused on building life skills, offering exposure to post-high school learning and career options, and inspiring social responsibility and youth service.

Year-round Programs: Designed to maintain positive connections with campers throughout the year, year-round programs consist primarily of Saturday Day Camps which focus on team-building enrichment, arts and crafts, camp songs and games, and more.
