Game On
This summer is all about getting you GAME ON! HYPE (Helping Youth Pursue Excellence) Camp is filled with cool and exciting activities and trips, so your middle schooler (rising 6th-8th grader) won't feel like they're at a day camp. They'll be in a safe atmosphere where they can thrive with positive, fun, and energetic role models. A healthy lifestyle will also be emphasized through traditional games, sports, and activities. The goal is to keep these tweens and teens active by involving them in weekly service learning and leadership experiences. HYPE Campers get to go on a field trip or go swimming and participate in a weekly service learning project. Two snacks and a lunch are offered each day.
