[Continued from Form 990 Page 2]Summer Day Camp (June July)Our summer day camp runs Monday through Friday for five weeks in the summertime, offering elementary students a safe, fun, and enriching place to be. Each summer has a different theme that sets the stage for the camp. Day campers are treated to skits, Bible stories, songs, crafts, and memory verse to reinforce the themes. They also take special field trips each Friday which help them to get out of their neighborhood and experience a bit of adventure.

Youth Internship Program [Continued from Form 990 Page 2]Through YLP, we aim to develop thriving and competent teens who are growing into their potential and becoming agents of change in their community. We recognize that many teens in our community need a safe place where they can feel valued and cared for while gaining valuable life skills, receive academic encouragement, and develop positive relationships. YLP provides that to local high school students looking for a linked learning opportunity in the field of education.
