New day camp is a five-day camp experience for children ages 8-14 who have at least one incarcerated parent or guardian. These children are tossed between extended family members or foster care and are the forgotten victims of crime and incarceration. Philanthropic support, grants, and scholarships allow the children to attend camp where there are social activities, spiritual programs, health education, and lots of food. Many of these children suffer from food deprevation. Transportation is provided to and from camp. Children may arrive with no clothing, toiletries, or bedding. Donors provide all those items for each child to have during camp and to take home with them. That ranges from homemade quilts to a brand new pair of tennis shoes. Children above age 14 may return as leaders in training (lit) for camp to help with supervision and camp curriculum. This keeps the children engaged and prepares them to become adult leaders at future camps. Cjamm maintains regional and local programming for the children throughout the year with other activities in an effort to strength relationships and opportunities for mentoring.
